I build hands-on cybersecurity projects to understand how modern security tooling works internally—from vulnerability intelligence and deterministic agent orchestration to cloud log analysis and security automation. My focus is on building, testing, and documenting systems that solve practical security problems while strengthening my engineering skills.
An independent security automation project exploring deterministic orchestration for penetration testing workflows.
- Attack Surface Discovery: Automatically identifies network footprints using tools like Nmap, Masscan, and HTTPX.
- Vulnerability Mapping: Correlates scanning data against 4,000+ CVEs and 955 MITRE ATT&CK techniques.
- Graph Modeling & Reports: Coordinates verification workflows, models multi-step attack paths with NetworkX, and generates structured remediation reports.
- State & Retrieval Backend: Utilizes LangGraph with PostgreSQL checkpointing for state management and Qdrant for semantic search retrieval.
A documented investigation of authentication, session handling, API routing, and configuration issues across a multi-service web application, emphasizing systematic troubleshooting methodologies.
A prototype security monitoring pipeline designed to ingest AWS CloudWatch logs, reduce duplicate events, and experiment with AI-assisted alert triage workflows.
