Data Engineering and Machine Learning
Vikrant Sharma. Data engineer and machine learning builder, specialised in cybersecurity.
scroll downWho I am
I am Vikrant Sharma, a Master of IT student at the University of the Sunshine Coast in Adelaide. I build data pipelines and the machine learning models that sit on top of them: pulling raw data in, shaping it and turning it into answers people can act on. On the side I point the same skills at networks and security, where my hybrid detection model scores 0.95 F1 on real attack traffic. Everything I build ships as working software you can click on, not slides.
see the workFeatured projects
Reads my bank alerts from Gmail, runs them through 16 format parsers and lands them in a private dashboard. Encrypted end to end, so the server only ever stores scrambled text. 65 tests green.
see it live
My side interest in security, taken seriously. Streams vulnerability data from the national database, scores it, maps it to attack techniques and plots where attacks come from.
open live demo
The project behind my NASA Space Apps global finalist run. Takes real planetary data and turns it into piano music: pick planets, hear their numbers become notes.

Certifications
Client work
A small manufacturing business in India runs its billing and books on tools I built. A quoting and invoice app with PDF and Excel export, and a ledger with a calendar view that syncs across devices. Both are in daily use. The code stays private, and a written case study with screenshots is available on request.

Data engineering, cryptography
Sixteen parsers, a server that writes what it cannot read, and what a hostile data source teaches you about production pipelines.

Why my intrusion detection capstone needed an Isolation Forest, a Random Forest and an autoencoder to reach 0.95 F1 on real attack traffic.
