Hey there! My name is

Teja Akella

Computer Engineering Student @ Georgia Tech

Specializing in Cybersecurity, Systems & Architecture. Building innovative solutions in AI security research, full-stack development, and distributed systems.

About Me

Computer Engineering student at Georgia Tech with a passion for cybersecurity, AI security research, and full-stack development. Currently working on cutting-edge AI security research at Georgia Tech CyFI Lab, developing frameworks to detect architectural backdoors in state-of-the-art models. Previously contributed to NASA's HADES tool, improving workflow efficiency by over 65%, and built scalable distributed systems at Reffy Inc. that reduced enterprise labor by 80%.

With experience spanning from AI/ML security research to brain tumor detection using CNNs, and from mixed-reality simulators for Artemis 3 mission prep to network traffic visualization tools, I bring a unique blend of security expertise and software engineering skills to every project. Certified in CompTIA Security+, Network+, and GFACT.
