Securing the Digital Frontier
Cybersecurity graduate with a passion for protecting the digital world.
About Me
As a cybersecurity graduate, I am passionate about protecting the digital world from evolving threats. With a strong foundation in ethical hacking, network security, and cryptography, I am dedicated to developing innovative solutions to safeguard critical infrastructure and sensitive data.
My expertise extends beyond technical skills, as I also possess excellent problem-solving abilities and a keen eye for detail. I thrive in collaborative environments, where I can leverage my communication skills to bridge the gap between technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Projects
Explore a selection of my cybersecurity projects, showcasing my expertise in various domains.
IoT Malware Detection
IoT Malware Detection using Autoencoder, a type of deep learning model, for detecting malware in Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The algorithm is trained on network traffic data, learning to reconstruct 'normal' instances with the goal of identifying anomalous instances which can be indicative of malware activity.
Network Intrusion Detection System
This project aims to build a Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS) using Machine Learning. The NIDS is trained to detect intrusions or malicious activities on a network. The dataset used for training is the KDD Cup 1999 dataset, which is publicly available. This dataset is a version of the DARPA dataset made to train Intrusion Detection Systems.
SOFTMESH
An infrastructure-less emergency communication system for commuication, rescue and evecuation during the event of disasters. The development was done in Heltec Lora 32 borard and TTGO TBEAM v1.1 Lora 32.
