Featured Projects
AEGIS
AEGIS: Automated Event Governance for Infrastructure Security. AEGIS began as an experiment to simplify and automate incident response for small to mid-sized infrastructure. I built a system where infrastructure could be deployed with Terraform and provisioned with Ansible, then dynamically monitored using SIEM alerts. The system detects network anomalies and triggers automated triage or recovery workflows, effectively acting as a skeleton SOC team in one tool. This project taught me how to merge detection, response, and recovery into a fully automatable stack.
IsoFlow
As part of a push toward self-healing infrastructure, I created IsoFlow to detect and alert on abnormal network traffic using Isolation Forest models. Netflow data is ingested live via Logstash, then evaluated and routed to AEGIS for automated triage. IsoFlow serves as the “eyes” of the network, spotting threats in real time before users notice anything wrong.
Boilerexams Infrastructure Overhaul
Boilerexams, a 70+ person organization serving thousands of students, had aging infrastructure with fragmented authentication and poor observability. I led a solo infrastructure overhaul that introduced secure remote access, centralized authentication, real-time monitoring, and a resilient mail server with IPS rulesets. This project hardened their entire backend and created a scalable foundation.
