Security-focused backend engineer building AI-powered cybersecurity tooling, network forensics systems, and detection automation. Final-year IT student at PDEA, Pune.

I build production-grade security tooling not demo projects. My work sits at the intersection of backend engineering, network security, and AI-assisted threat analysis.

Current interests: network traffic forensics · Suricata-based detection · FastAPI backend systems · AI-assisted security workflows · packet inspection · open-source security tooling

Live product with paying users across 3 tiers (Free · Pro · Forensics). Solo-built from scratch.

• Suricata IDS as the detection engine — deterministic, no hallucinations
• tshark for high-throughput PCAP parsing (replaced Scapy for 10x performance)
• Async VirusTotal IP reputation lookups at analysis time
• Claude API restricted to narrative summarization only — explicitly separated from detection logic
• PDF export, user-defined detection rules, full billing system

Python FastAPI Suricata tshark VirusTotal API Anthropic API PostgreSQL

Real-time local AI model routing recommendations and cost analytics via a rule-based engine and self-hosted backend.

• Session-based Slop Score metric for model efficiency tracking
• WebView dashboard with per-model and per-session cost breakdowns
• Zero third-party telemetry

TypeScript VS Code Extension API Node.js

Modern replacement for a legacy attendance system — built for actual use by faculty and students at my institution.
