VIKRANT, ML ENGINEER SPECIALISING IN CYBERSECURITY
I AM
VIKRANT.
Master of IT student at USC Adelaide. I build machine learning systems that detect threats. Data engineering and full-stack are how I ship them end-to-end. Finishing my degree in Aug 2027 and sitting the AWS Data Engineer Associate exam next month.
WHAT I CAN HELP YOU WITH
ML for cybersecurity is the lead. The other three are how I get the model into production. Real shipped work across all four. Click any live demo below to see the actual code.
01
My core focus. Building intrusion-detection models that map alerts to MITRE ATT&CK, anomaly classifiers on imbalanced data, phishing analysers that catch what email gateways miss. Most cyber analysts cannot build a model; most ML engineers do not know what ATT&CK is. I sit in the middle.
02
How I feed the models. ETL pipelines, dimensional modelling on Snowflake and Redshift, real-time ingest, observability. Three months at Nagarro shipping production data work.
03
How I learned what to detect. Seven months at AT SecurDI doing SIEM triage, OWASP Top 10 web testing, ISO 27001 + NIST CSF audits. The hands-on knowledge that informs every detection model I build.
04
How I ship the work. Dashboards, APIs, and demos that turn the model output into something humans can actually use. Flask, FastAPI, React, Astro, Docker, Cloudflare Pages, Hugging Face Spaces.
TOOLS OF THE TRADE
Six categories. The tools I reach for on data engineering, machine learning, and security work. If you see something here, ask me about the project where I used it.
BY THE NUMBERS
Four numbers anyone can verify from this site, my GitHub, my LinkedIn, or my certification credentials. No rounded-up totals, no padded years.

RECENT PROJECTS, ALL LIVE, NO MOCKUPS
Every "Live" link below points at a real running deployment. Click any of them. They may take 30 seconds to wake from sleep, then the actual ML / API runs.
01
Cybersecurity / ML
My capstone. Real-time intrusion detection for SOC analysts. Every alert is mapped to MITRE ATT&CK so triage takes seconds, not minutes. Detects the attack categories CICIDS2017 covers: DDoS, brute force, port scans, web attacks, infiltration, botnet.
02
Threat Intelligence
Cuts SOC alert triage time. Pre-ranks new CVEs against exploit availability, asset exposure, and MITRE techniques so the alerts that actually matter rise to the top. Signal-to-noise is the whole point.
03
Data Science / Sonification
NASA Space Apps Global Finalist 2023 with Team Eklavya. Makes planetary data audible: latitude, velocity, and temperature become piano notes. An image scanner turns a planet photo into a melody.
04
Cybersecurity / ML
Catches phishing patterns email gateways miss. Header anomalies, hidden payloads, suspicious URLs, sender spoofing. A second opinion for security teams before they click quarantine.
05
ML / Data Science
The hardest version of fraud detection: 0.17 percent positive class on 284k transactions. Without the right balance technique, a model hits 99 percent accuracy by predicting nothing. The work is in the threshold, not the algorithm.
06
Cybersecurity / SIEM
A SIEM for teams without a Splunk budget. Parses syslog and web access logs, flags brute force + port scans in seconds, maps every alert to MITRE ATT&CK. Spins up on a single VM.
07
Security / API
Drop-in password check for any auth flow. Returns entropy, breach status (without the server ever seeing the password), and crack-time estimates in under 100 milliseconds.
