This learning project is a minimal but security-focused REST API built using FastAPI. It demonstrates how authentication and authorization should be implemented in real-world APIs.
Praetorian is a simple machine-learning–powered anomaly detection system built using Isolation Forest, featuring an interactive Streamlit web interface, real-time scoring, visualization, model evaluation, and CSV exporting capabilities as a learning / demo project.
𝗧𝗶𝗻𝘆𝗚𝘂𝗮𝗿𝗱, a lightweight privacy focused Chrome extension that, Scans every site for outgoing network requests, Detects 46,000+ known tracking domains, Blocks the top 30,000 trackers using Manifest V3, Assigns an A–F privacy score based on real risk signals, Lists all third-party domains a page interacts with, Runs fully locallyand no data is collected or sent anywhere.
A personal project where I've been diving deeper into cybersecurity tooling and wanted to get some experience with how file integrity checks and malware detection systems work under the hood.
Tools & Technologies: Python and specific libraries (hashlib, tkinter, scrolledtext)
This personal project was about understand how keylogging tools operate at a basic level; which provided valuable insight into how attackers exploit systems and how to build stronger defensive measures.
This personal project was completed to get a hands-on experience with system-level programming and low-level memory operations.
As part of my ICS module, I recently completed a research assignment diving deep into the intersection of Cybersecurity and Quantum Computing — two fields rapidly changing the future of technology.
This is a realistic employee portal for a state-of-the-art Cybersecurity Research & Development lab, intentionally built with vulnerabilities so learners can safely practice offensive and defensive web security skills. This hands-on challenge TryHackMe room teaches how attackers find, exploit, and chain common web flaws.
As an assignment for the Web Security module, this security assessment was carried out through Supabase’s authorized bug bounty program on the HackerOne platform. The focus of the review was to evaluate important areas such as user login processes, how sessions are managed once users are logged in, and the overall security setup of the platform. The goal was to identify any weaknesses that could put user data or system reliability at risk.
As part of my DM (Discrete Mathematics) module, my 3 project group members and I created an intelligent traffic light control system using GNU Octave. The system dynamically manages signal timings at a busy intersection by simulating 24-hour traffic patterns across 6 lanes and 4 directions.
This project was about setting up and managing a Linux-based virtual network environment for practicing secure system and network administration. We configured services like DHCP, DNS, NTP, SSH, Apache, and firewalls, and even analyzed executables using GDB and custom scripts to simulate real-world networking and security scenarios.
A database management project created using Microsoft SQL Server which is designed by a 4 member team to handle data of an Health Clinic: all the neccessary patient data, employee data and more.
A database management project created using Microsoft SQL Server which is designed by a 5 member team to handle data of an online banking platform (Helix Banking): all the necessary customer data, employee data, information on banking facilities and more.
Helix Banking is an online banking platform created as a first year group project to showcase Full stack development with front-end and back-end technologies, including CRUD operations for database management.
