  • πŸ”— Secure ML DevSecOps Pipeline

    End-to-end ML model deployment via a Flask API, fully containerized and secured with a Jenkins-driven DevSecOps pipeline. Features automated linting (Flake8 + Black), static code analysis (Bandit), container vulnerability scanning (Trivy), optional secret scanning, SBOM generation, and deployment to a staging environment.


🌐 SysOps, Cloud & AI

During my Journney; Diploma, labs and other things i did, I focused heavily on SysOps, Cloud, and AI.
While I didn’t maintain GitHub repos at that time, I created detailed documentation of everything I practiced.
These notes serve as a record of my hands-on experience and learning journey.

πŸ–₯️ SysOps & Linux Administration

Over time, I gained extensive hands-on experience in SysOps and Linux administration.
The more time you spend in this field, the more you understand the depth and power of Linux β€” and I made sure to document that progression in detail. These notes reflect real work, configurations, and troubleshooting:

☁️ Cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure)

Similar to SysOps, My Cloud journey is fully documented in Notion, including projects i implemented in Diploma and Projects:

πŸ€– AI & Machine Learning

I explored AI concepts, model fine-tuning, and edge deployments as part of my learning track.
Notes include theory + practical lab steps (almost like projects):



πŸ” Security Projects

  • πŸ”— Linux Security Projects

    A dedicated repo showcasing hands-on Linux security implementations. Covers:

    • Identity & Access Management (FreeIPA on GCP)
    • Mandatory Access Control (SELinux)
    • File Integrity & Intrusion Detection 8(AIDE)*
    • System Auditing & Logging (Auditd)
    • TLS-based Secure Communication
    • Automated Hardening with Ansible Playbooks
  • πŸ”— AI-Powered Web Fuzzer

    An intelligent fuzzer that uses the Google Gemini API to generate smart wordlists for ffuf, inspired by Brainstorm (Invicti Security).

  • πŸ”— Phishing Email Analysis

    A forensic analysis of a real phishing email (.eml) uncovering Microsoft credential theft through IoC extraction, header tracing, and infrastructure abuse detection.

  • πŸ”— Network Traffic Analysis

    SOC-style investigation of a malicious pcap using Snort, Wireshark, and tcpdump to detect QakBot activity, lateral movement, and credential theft patterns.

  • πŸ”— Windows Autoruns Baseline Detection

    A SOC-style project demonstrating how to detect malicious persistence on Windows systems using SysInternals Autoruns and PowerShell baselines.
    I created a clean baseline, simulated attacker persistence using reg add, and compared snapshots to identify unauthorized autoruns β€” including module verification, unsigned binaries, and MITRE ATT&CK mapping (T1547.001).

  • πŸ”— SOC Automation Lab

    Built a fully automated detection and response pipeline integrating Wazuh (SIEM), Shuffle (SOAR), and TheHive. Engineered custom detection rules for Mimikatz credential dumping using Sysmon telemetry, and implemented an automated workflow to enrich alerts with VirusTotal and dispatch notifications to analysts.
