What I'm looking for

I’m looking to keep developing professionally and apply my technical background to IT projects that create value for society, especially in DevOps, cybersecurity, machine learning, and data science.

At Bright Access, I built a real-time machine-learning prototype to detect malicious network traffic. I integrated Suricata IDS, a custom pcap-to-JSON plugin, and a Redis-based queue, then compared machine-learning approaches and displayed results in a Streamlit dashboard.

In a project mapping security text to CWEs, I developed an NLP pipeline using SecureBERT embeddings and evaluated preprocessing techniques. I also built a Digital Product Passport application that tracks product sustainability and lifecycle data, with Firestore synchronization and AWS authentication.
