About Me

I am a computer engineering graduate with experience across cybersecurity consulting, IT operations, cloud security, software development, and multidisciplinary engineering projects.

My work connects technical execution with practical problem solving: assessing risks, understanding system behavior, building reliable tools, and communicating findings clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

I have worked on cybersecurity advisory and VAPT activities at EY, enterprise IT and security operations at ENL, and engineering automation through my Space Concordia capstone project, where my team developed a five-axis CNC-style system to automate silica fiber layup for rocket combustion chamber manufacturing.

Core Interests

  • Cybersecurity & Cloud Security: VAPT, risk assessment, IAM, Microsoft Azure, endpoint security, and security monitoring.
  • Artificial Intelligence & Expert Systems: Rule-based reasoning, explainable inference, uncertainty handling, and AI-assisted workflows.
  • Software Development: Python, Java, C++, databases, Android development, full-stack applications, and automation tools.
  • Systems & Engineering Automation: Real-time systems, networking, CNC automation, G-code generation, and electromechanical integration.

Current Focus

  • Building stronger expertise in cybersecurity, cloud security, and applied AI.
  • Exploring how AI can improve security workflows, automation, and decision support.
  • Developing practical technical projects that combine software, systems, and security.

Technical Skills

Cybersecurity: VAPT, vulnerability assessment, penetration testing, risk analysis, incident response, CIS Controls, OWASP Top 10, ISO 27001, NIST
Cloud & Microsoft Security: Microsoft Azure, Azure Security, Entra ID, Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Defender, Microsoft Purview
Programming: Python, Java, C++, C, SQL, Bash, PowerShell
Tools: Nessus, Burp Suite, Nmap, Metasploit, CrowdStrike, Darktrace, Git, Linux
Engineering: Real-time systems, networking, embedded systems, CNC/G-code automation, system integration

Featured Projects

  • CIS Controls v8 Expert System
    Rule-based cybersecurity assessment system in CLIPS using deterministic reasoning, certainty factors, and fuzzy logic.

  • Mini Chess AI
    AI project implementing Minimax, Alpha-Beta pruning, and heuristic evaluation for a 5x5 chess variant.

  • Air Quality Monitoring Android App
    Android IoT application for real-time air quality monitoring, UDP sensor data reception, graphing, CSV export, and AI-assisted recommendations.

  • Air Traffic Monitoring & Control System
    QNX-based real-time systems simulation using multithreading, IPC, timer management, and safety monitoring.

  • Automated Rocket Combustion Chamber Manufacturing System
    Five-axis CNC-style automation project for silica fiber layup, including Python-based DXF-to-G-code generation.

Let's Connect

I'm always open to discussing cybersecurity, cloud security, AI, software engineering, and technical project collaboration.
