Security-Focused
Engineer

Cybersecurity student and researcher specializing in cloud security, post-quantum cryptography, and offensive/defensive operations.

With hands-on experience across Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Linux environments, I design and deploy security architectures that address real-world threats — from SOC simulation labs to quantum-resistant cryptographic systems. My work spans the full spectrum: SIEM engineering, red team methodologies, cryptographic research, and secure system design.

Cloud / SIEM

Azure Sentinel Honeypot

SOC Detection Lab

Deployed a cloud-based SOC simulation environment using Windows/Linux VMs in Azure. Built custom KQL queries, analytics rules, and MITRE ATT&CK-aligned dashboards to detect brute-force and unauthorized access in real-time.

Cloud Security

AWS Cloud Security

Zero-Trust Architecture

Engineered a Zero-Trust security architecture in AWS using IAM, VPC segmentation, RBAC, and KMS encryption. Designed isolated network zones and enforced least-privilege access to reduce attack surfaces.

Web Pentesting

Web Security Testing

Proxy-Based Traffic Analysis

Used Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, and Fiddler to intercept and manipulate HTTP/HTTPS traffic. Analyzed authentication flaws, session hijacking, cookie security, hostname validation, and request tampering vectors.

Offensive Security

OWASP Top 10 Lab

WebGoat Security Lab

Operated a WebGoat environment to exploit real OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities: SQL injection, XSS, broken auth, IDOR, and insecure configs. Documented attack paths, remediation strategies, and secure coding practices.

Cryptography

Crypto Engine

Encryption & Cryptanalysis System

Built a C-based cryptography application with monoalphabetic substitution and Caesar cipher encryption. Automated cryptanalysis via frequency analysis, bigram/trigram detection, and Levenshtein-distance word validation.

Incident Response

IRP / DRP

Incident Response & Disaster Recovery Plan

Authored a full IRP/DRP for a simulated multinational financial institution addressing ransomware and insider threats. Covered regulatory compliance (GDPR, PCI DSS), crisis communication workflows, and enterprise continuity under breach conditions.
