StudentOps Data Platform
From scattered student data to real-time decisions.
An end-to-end data platform that ingests six sources into a layered Postgres warehouse with dbt and Prefect, then serves a dashboard, a daily digest and a Claude assistant.
Explore the project Public project pageSole engineer
Inside the engineering
Decisions
- Bronze, silver, gold warehouse on Postgres with dbt, including SCD2 history on the assessments dimension.
- Six ingestion sources normalised into one model, orchestrated and scheduled with Prefect.
- A Claude assistant with a hard DOI validation gate so it never fabricates a reference.
- Daily digest by email and a Streamlit dashboard, deployed on Fly.io and Cloudflare Pages.
Outcome
A single tenant platform running live for about twelve dollars a month, with observable pipelines and freshness tracking per source. It demonstrates the full data engineering loop: ingest, model, orchestrate, serve, and a grounded AI layer that refuses to invent citations.

Hybrid ML Intrusion Detection
Detect. Classify. Understand.
A real-time hybrid intrusion detection system that runs an ensemble of ML models over network traffic and maps every alert to MITRE ATT&CK.
Explore the project Archived dashboard screenshotSole engineer
Inside the engineering
Decisions
- Ensemble of three complementary models: Isolation Forest for unsupervised anomalies, Random Forest for known classes, Autoencoder for reconstruction-error outliers.
- Every detection is mapped to a MITRE ATT&CK technique, so an alert reads as attacker intent rather than a bare label.
- Live packet capture and feature extraction with Scapy feeding the models in real time.
- Containerised with Docker and shipped as an interactive Streamlit dashboard anyone can run.
Outcome
Detects DDoS, brute force, port scans, web attacks, infiltration and botnet activity across the CICIDS2017 categories. The ATT&CK mapping turns each alert from a raw flag into a triage decision in seconds. Deployed live on Hugging Face Spaces with full source on GitHub.

ThreatLens
From chaos to priority.
A CVE triage service that pre-ranks vulnerabilities by what is actually exploitable against your assets.
Explore the project Project interfaceSole engineer
Inside the engineering
Decisions
- Pulls and normalises live CVE data from the NVD API.
- Composite score blends exploit availability, asset exposure and mapped ATT&CK techniques.
- Typed request and response models with Pydantic for a clean, documented API.
Outcome
A pre-ranked patch queue. The vulnerabilities that are actually exploitable against assets you actually run rise to the top, so triage time goes to the things that matter.

Cosmic Keys
Turning space data into music.
A planetary-data sonification engine that turns numbers into music, a NASA Space Apps Global Finalist project.
Explore the project Project interfaceNASA Space Apps · Global Finalist · 2023
Inside the engineering
Decisions
- Maps planetary parameters (latitude, velocity, temperature) onto musical pitch, tempo and tone.
- An image-to-music scanner derives a melody from a planet photograph.
- Built and shipped under hackathon time pressure with Team Eklavya.
- Recognised as a NASA Space Apps Challenge Global Finalist, 2023.
Outcome
Selected as a Global Finalist from thousands of teams worldwide. The judges did not read the data, they heard it.

Phishing Detection Platform
What you see. What the message contains.
An email analyser that flags the phishing signals gateways miss: header anomalies, hidden payloads and spoofed senders.
Explore the project Project interface · archived captureSole engineer
Inside the engineering
Decisions
- Parses multiple email formats and inspects full headers, not just the visible body.
- Rule engine targets spoofing, hidden payloads and suspicious URLs.
- SQLite persistence and a REST API so it slots into an existing workflow.
Outcome
Catches header anomalies, hidden payloads, suspicious URLs and sender spoofing that slip past gateways, giving a security team a deeper read before they quarantine.

Password Strength API
A drop-in API that returns entropy, breach status and crack-time estimates without ever seeing the raw password.
