Six repositories. Ranked by depth, not by size.

LOGSENTINEL
Apache Log Analyzer & Attack Detection

Self-contained log analyzer that parses Apache logs and detects brute-force, SQL injection, XSS and path-traversal attempts against a real per-IP history, not a single-batch heuristic.

NDAP
Network Detection & Analysis Platform

A Rust packet engine decoding Ethernet/IPv4/IPv6/ARP/TCP/UDP from raw pcap files, with flow tracking, TCP reassembly, and working port-scan, SYN-flood and ARP-spoof detection rules.

SOVEREIGN
Local Multi-Agent AI Orchestration Platform

Five specialized local AI agents — orchestration, research, code generation, security auditing and memory — served through FastAPI, running entirely on local hardware via LM Studio or Ollama.

APPROVAL & AUDIT
Human-in-the-loop authorization service for LogSentinel

A deliberately small service that owns one job: recording who approved a containment action, when, and why — kept separate so the detection engine can never also authorize its own response. Fails closed if unreachable.

Python · REST API · CI
Active

A modular TCP port scanner with concurrent scanning (ThreadPoolExecutor), banner grabbing, and both CLI and JSON output.

Packet sniffer and traffic analyzer sharing one capture core across a CLI, a GUI, and a dashboard visualizer.

LogSentinel

Apache Log Analyzer & Attack Detection

A self-contained log analyzer that runs entirely on one machine — no cloud account, no external database. Point it at a real Apache access log, or run the live traffic simulator, and it catches brute-force logins, SQL injection, XSS and path-traversal attempts in real time through a single shared detection path used by the CLI, the API, and the dashboard alike.

Apache logs (real file or live simulator) ↓ parser.py — streamed, line-by-line Normalization ↓ percent-decoded before matching, so %2e%2e%2f-style encoding can't slip through AttackDetector — brute force / SQLi / XSS / path traversal ↓ compared against each IP's own recent history in SQLite Alert engine REST API + WebSocket broadcast → dependency-free dashboard
20 pytest tests CI on every push, 3 Python versions One detector, no CLI/API drift SQLite persistence Docker + docker-compose

NDAP

Network Detection & Analysis Platform

A Rust workspace built as a network packet engine from the wire formats up — no Wireshark code reused. Decoders were written directly against RFC 791/793/768, ARP, and the classic pcap file format, feeding a flow-tracking layer and a working detection engine.

Raw packets (pcap file) ↓ ndap-capture / ndap-protocol Ethernet → IPv4 / IPv6 → ARP / TCP / UDP decode ↓ ndap-flow 5-tuple flow tracking + TCP reassembly (in-order, basic out-of-order buffering) ↓ ndap-detect Port-scan · SYN-flood · ARP-spoof detection rules ↓ ndap-api (axum/tokio) REST endpoint — POST a pcap, get back alerts + conversation count
Zero external deps in core crates Rust Trait-based protocol registry Runs end-to-end against real pcap files today

Documented honestly as in-progress: live capture, threat-intel feed matching (Sigma/YARA), and a frontend are scoped but not yet implemented.

Local Multi-Agent AI Orchestration Platform

Five specialized local agents chained into one cognitive pipeline, served through FastAPI, running entirely against a local model via LM Studio or Ollama — no data leaves the machine.

Built and shared in the open

Every project above is public, MIT- or Unlicense-licensed, and built from scratch — decoders, detectors, and orchestration logic written against source specs rather than copied from existing tools. Contributed to Hacktoberfest 2025 and continues shipping in the open.

Journey

Six years of engineering, lived rather than just studied — work, earn, learn, in parallel with the coursework. Every concept had a real-world counterpart; every lecture had a bill attached to it.

From operations to services to founding teams, resolving hard problems that open-source communities wrestle with — that's been the shape of the career. Not a straight line. A real one.

Outside of engineering: 700+ trees planted across Tamil Nadu and Pune, two years leading a 40-person youth volunteer team through Pune's COVID care response, and ongoing work on clean-water access in remote mountain regions.

"Life is volunteer — we didn't choose to arrive, and we won't choose to leave. So make it count while you're here."
