What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can apply Python, machine learning, and secure systems thinking to build scalable, data-driven products—combining real-time monitoring, intelligent modeling, and production-grade engineering.

I’m a PhD-qualified software engineer specializing in data science, complex networks, machine learning, and secure enterprise systems. With 10+ years of hands-on industry experience and international publications, I design scalable applications and turn large-scale data into practical, intelligent solutions.

In my current role as a Network & Security Engineer at ICOFC, I designed and maintained secure communication networks across multiple national branches. I also built Python-based automation for monitoring and anomaly detection, hardening environments with firewalls, WAFs, VPNs, and IPSec tunnels—improving network stability by 30% and reducing response time through proactive monitoring.

Previously, I developed enterprise web applications as a .NET Full-Stack Developer and delivered workflow-focused systems aligned with operational and reporting needs. Earlier, as a Java Full-Stack Developer, I built network management modules using Java + Spring + OSGi and created secure systems with AspectJ (AOP) and advanced design patterns.

My work spans real-world delivery and research: I’ve automated helpdesk and monitoring processes, built DSS for water distribution leak detection using sensor data, and developed PhD research on information diffusion modeling in social networks.
