Calisto Mathias

As a C++ developer and executive member at IEEE Computer Society, NITK, I have had the opportunity to both learn and contribute to impactful projects within the society. During my initial time as a student member, I joined the Envision project, a collaborative effort led by senior members to develop a steganography tool. My role involved implementing the AES decryption algorithm, working closely with teammates who implemented AES encryption and compression features. This experience allowed me to deepen my knowledge of cryptographic principles and reinforced the importance of teamwork and problem-solving in a technical setting.

Currently, as an executive member, I am leading a new project to develop an NES emulator. This role allows me to delve into core areas of computer architecture, including computer graphics, memory allocation, and management. Through this project, I am excited to expand my expertise in low-level programming and enhance my understanding of complex systems. My time at IEEE Computer Society has been invaluable, offering me both hands-on technical experience and a strong foundation in collaborative development.
