@farahmhedhbi
I am a data scientist focused on cybersecurity, intrusion detection and scalable analytics.
What I'm looking for
I am a Master’s graduate in Data Science, Cybersecurity, and IoT with hands-on experience building scalable intrusion-detection and analytics systems. I specialize in applying machine learning and advanced analytics to malware and anomaly detection.
During a research internship at Sup'Com Laboratory I developed a hybrid IDS combining graph-directed analytics and image-based malware modeling, using Node2Vec, GraphSAGE, GNNs, CNNs and ViT to detect sophisticated threats.
I designed and implemented big-data pipelines with Apache Kafka, Spark and Hadoop for real-time ingestion, normalization and monitoring, and I built Spark Streaming detection pipelines to continuously analyze graph structures and image features.
I also have practical software and web development experience from industry internships, strong scientific writing and presentation skills, and a collaborative approach to solving security and data-driven system challenges.
