Built a complete Security Operations Center environment from scratch, simulating real enterprise threat detection, log ingestion, and security analysis workflows.

• Built a full SOC environment using Splunk SIEM from the ground up
• Simulated real-world attacks using Kali Linux against Windows & Ubuntu VMs
• Ingested and analysed logs across multiple systems using Splunk Forwarders
• Performed threat detection — brute-force, geo-IP analysis, auth failure patterns
• Designed multi-index SIEM architecture for scalable log management

Designed a full GitOps automation pipeline that enforces code quality, automated testing, and pull-request-based deployment — zero manual merges without passing all checks.

• Designed full GitOps workflow using GitHub Actions end-to-end
• Enforced code quality with linting (flake8) and automated testing (pytest)
• Implemented Trello-based task tracking integrated into the dev workflow
• Automated PR-based deployment — no merge without passing all pipeline stages
• Ensured consistent code standards across all contributors

Deployed a fully containerized Flask application on AWS with enterprise-grade security, HTTPS encryption, Nginx reverse proxy, and a fully automated CI/CD pipeline.

• Dockerized Flask application using multi-stage builds for lean production images
• Deployed on AWS EC2 behind an Nginx reverse proxy for routing and load management
• Implemented HTTPS end-to-end using Let's Encrypt SSL certificates
• Built automated CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions for zero-downtime deployments
• Integrated secure secrets management using GitHub Secrets + AWS IAM
