Dishank Bansal developed and enhanced core features for the EquiStamp/AISI-control-arena repository, focusing on AI agent behavior, backend reliability, and cloud infrastructure. He implemented a dynamic prompt registry for attack policy management, enabling rapid experimentation with adversarial strategies using Python and regular expressions. Dishank improved XML tag extraction utilities with robust parsing and comprehensive unit tests, increasing data reliability. He also updated evaluation workflows and documentation to clarify task configuration. In April, he refined agent policy prompts for better automation and documented NFS-based data persistence using Kubernetes, ensuring stable cross-node storage. His work demonstrated depth in backend and infrastructure engineering.
