Machine learning,built to hunt threats.

Data platforms, ML systems and security tooling that run in production, not in notebooks. The dashboard below is one of seven public deployments, all open source.

Live hybrid ML intrusion detection dashboard built by Vikrant Sharma

Selected work

Three systems, end to end.

Each one is deployed and public. Open a case study for the full write-up, or jump straight to the running demo. Source for everything is on GitHub.

StudentOps Data Platform

Challenge
Study life is scattered across calendars, reference managers and notes, with no single view of what is due, what is planned and what is worth reading. The goal was a real data platform, not a to-do app: ingestion, modelling, orchestration and serving, end to end.
Outcome
A single tenant platform running live for about twelve dollars a month, with observable pipelines and freshness tracking per source. It demonstrates the full data engineering loop: ingest, model, orchestrate, serve, and a grounded AI layer that refuses to invent citations.

Hybrid ML Intrusion Detection

Challenge
Signature-based tools miss novel attacks, and SOC analysts drown in alerts with no context about what an attacker is actually doing. The job was a detector that catches unknown behaviour and tells the analyst what it means.
Outcome
Detects DDoS, brute force, port scans, web attacks, infiltration and botnet activity across the CICIDS2017 categories. The ATT&CK mapping turns each alert from a raw flag into a triage decision in seconds. Deployed live on Hugging Face Spaces with full source on GitHub.

Phishing Detection Platform

Challenge
Email gateways catch the obvious phishing and wave through the rest. Analysts need a second opinion that looks deeper than a reputation score.
Outcome
Catches header anomalies, hidden payloads, suspicious URLs and sender spoofing that slip past gateways, giving a security team a deeper read before they quarantine.

Technical expertise

What I do, with receipts.

Four domains, each anchored to work you can open and run. No skill appears here without a project or role behind it.

01

Threat Detection ML

Anomaly detection, imbalanced classification and ensemble models for security data, with every alert mapped to MITRE ATT&CK. Most analysts cannot build a model and most ML engineers have never read ATT&CK. I work in the overlap.

Evidence: the IDS capstone and fraud model above.

  • Python
  • PyTorch
  • scikit-learn
  • XGBoost
  • SMOTE

02

Data Engineering

Dimensional modelling, ETL pipelines and warehouse work on AWS Redshift and Snowflake. Production experience turning high-volume transactional data into analyst-ready tables.

Evidence: Data Engineer at Nagarro, AWS Certified Data Engineer.

  • SQL
  • Snowflake
  • Redshift
  • Airflow
  • Pandas

03

Security Operations

SIEM monitoring, alert triage, OWASP Top 10 testing and compliance audits against ISO 27001 and NIST CSF. The operational grounding that tells me what a detection model actually needs to catch.

Evidence: seven months as a security analyst at AT SecurDI.

  • SIEM
  • Wireshark
  • Suricata
  • OWASP
  • NIST CSF

04

Production Delivery

APIs, dashboards and deployment pipelines that put models in front of users. Everything I build ships behind a URL with CI, containers and monitoring.

Evidence: seven public deployments, all with source.

  • FastAPI
  • Flask
  • React
  • Docker
  • GitHub Actions

Professional journey

Security floor to ML systems.

Ten months of industry experience across two roles, one in security operations and one in data engineering. That order is the point: I learnt what attacks look like before I started building models to catch them.
