About Me
Cybersecurity Engineer and MITS-AI graduate student in Canada's first AI-in-Security program, building the next generation of AI-driven, cloud-native security systems. I design detection and response architectures that combine machine learning, automation, and deep cloud security expertise across AWS and Azure — with hands-on SOC, DevSecOps, and threat-intelligence experience.

Cybersecurity Observability & AI Engineer
Dec 2024 — Mar 2025Ameya Data Solutions · Co-op · Mississauga, ON — Hybrid
- Designed and deployed AI-powered threat detection and observability systems using machine learning and anomaly modeling to enhance SOC visibility and reduce false positives by 38%.
- Built real-time monitoring pipelines integrating SIEM, IDS, IPS, EDR, and cloud telemetry for unified visibility, proactive threat hunting, and automated incident response.
- Developed custom dashboards and alerting frameworks (OpenSearch, Kibana, Python) for real-time threat visualization and executive-level reporting.
- Strengthened AWS cloud security through IAM policy design, VPC segmentation, Security Groups, and Zero-Trust architecture, cutting over-privileged IAM roles by 45% and aligning with NIST, CIS, and GDPR standards.
- Automated vulnerability management, patching, and compliance checks using Ansible and Python, improving efficiency and consistency across environments.
DevSecOps Engineer
May 2024 — Aug 2024Ameya Data Solutions · Co-op · Mississauga, ON — Remote
- Developed AI-enhanced EDR tools using Python, Snyk, and Trivy to improve vulnerability-detection coverage by 33% and automate CVE-level threat response.
- Designed and enforced AWS security groups, IAM policies, and VPC architectures, strengthening access control and ensuring compliance with NIST and GDPR standards.
- Deployed Fluent Bit and integrated system logs into OpenSearch Dashboards, enhancing real-time visibility and accelerating forensic investigations.
- Automated security configurations, patching, and compliance checks using Ansible and AI-driven workflows, ensuring consistent, secure deployments across cloud environments.
- Implemented Docker-based containerization to secure application delivery pipelines, reduce configuration drift, and improve deployment efficiency.
Data Analyst Intern
Aug 2023 — Dec 2023Ameya Data Solutions · On-Call · Mississauga, ON — Remote
- Designed and implemented AWS security groups to monitor and control application traffic, improving visibility and compliance across cloud environments.
- Developed Fluent Bit log-management packages and deployed OpenSearch Dashboards, integrating system and access logs into Kibana (ELK Stack), cutting log-correlation and forensic-analysis effort by 35%.
- Managed AWS cloud infrastructure (EC2, S3, VPC, IAM) to ensure resilient, scalable, and secure deployments aligned with organizational standards.
- Automated security configuration and deployment workflows using Ansible playbooks and Docker, ensuring consistency and reducing manual overhead.
- Conducted vulnerability assessments and system hardening across Windows, Linux, and macOS environments to strengthen endpoint security.
