Cyber Security Researcher | SRE & Software Engineer | MSc Candidate (RGU)
I bridge the gap between large-scale software engineering and advanced cyber security research. With a strong foundation in Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) and IoT backend development, my current focus lies at the intersection of Zero-Trust Architectures, Autonomous Threat Inference, and Decentralized Identity.
- Autonomous Threat Response: Leveraging SOAR and AI agentic frameworks to transition SOCs from reactive alert triage to proactive, autonomous containment.
- Advanced Intrusion Detection: Exploring kernel-space network anomaly detection using eBPF (Extended Berkeley Packet Filter) to bypass user-space overhead.
- Privacy-Preserving Compliance: Implementing zk-SNARKs (Zero-Knowledge Proofs) for decentralized, zero-trust smart contract compliance auditing.
- Decentralized Identity (SSI): Working with W3C Verifiable Credentials and DIDs to secure identity-centric threat environments.
autonomous-threat-response-agent— A conceptual SOAR agent framework simulating identity-centric threat inference and automated MITRE technique isolation.zk-snark-smart-contract-verifier— On-chain verification of Groth16 cryptographic compliance proofs via Solidity, developed as part of my MSc dissertation research.ebpf-network-anomaly-detector— Elite-level Linux kernel tracepoint hooking utilizing BCC for zero-overhead, socket-level TCP intrusion detection.live-threat-intel-cli— A fully functional CLI tool that tails system logs, maps attacking IPs via live Geo-API resolution, and maintains an SQLite persistence layer.
- Languages: Python, Node.js, TypeScript, Solidity, Bash, R
- Security & Crypto: SIEM/SOAR (Elastic), OpenCTI/STIX2, JWT/ECDSA, zk-SNARKs (Circom/snarkjs)
- Infrastructure: Linux Kernel (eBPF), Docker, CI/CD DevSecOps, GCP
