I build software that learns & defends.

I'm an AI and software engineer with a background in AI & Data Science, now studying for an MSc in AI in Dublin. I build practical software, machine-learning systems and security tools, and I like taking an idea all the way to something that runs.

02Toolkit

From model to tooling.

#01 · AI & ML

Models that do a job

Classical ML and deep learning for detection and prediction: gradient-boosted trees, NLP and LLM pipelines, with explainability wherever a decision needs justifying.

  • Python
  • TensorFlow
  • PyTorch
  • scikit-learn
  • XGBoost
  • LightGBM
  • NLP
  • Computer vision
  • LSTM
  • SHAP
  • Groq API

#02 · Software

Practical software

Everything around the model that makes it usable: APIs, dashboards, browser extensions and containers, built in Python and React and deployed to the cloud.

  • Python
  • FastAPI
  • React
  • Docker
  • Git
  • AWS (EC2, S3, IAM, VPC)
  • PostgreSQL
  • MySQL
  • Supabase
  • Bash
  • Linux
  • Netlify

#03 · Security

Security research & automation

Offensive and defensive tooling: penetration testing, CVE analysis, Active Directory research, and automation for the repetitive parts of an assessment.

  • Penetration testing
  • Vulnerability assessment
  • CVE analysis
  • CVSS
  • OWASP
  • Active Directory
  • MITRE ATT&CK
  • Kali Linux
  • Metasploit

AI & software engineer · Dublin

I turn technical ideas into useful, working systems.

I studied AI & Data Science in Bengaluru and I'm now doing an MSc in AI in Dublin. I build practical applications across machine learning, AI-powered tools, automation and cybersecurity, from malware classifiers and LLM pipelines to threat-intelligence dashboards and pentest tooling.

Security is the thread I keep pulling: I'm working towards the PNPT with TCM Security and hunt bugs on Bugcrowd as n0xvector. Most of what I know, I learned by building it.
