Projects

The Window
The Window
Launching UI browser web app to simulate tasks (Python, Puppeteer, GPT4v) (MVP is in progress)
HTTP Wrapper Library (open- source)
Golang Open-source
HTTP Wrapper Library (open- source)
A Golang request tracer library serving as a wrapper on top of the 'http' package in Go.
Key Management Library (open- source)
Golang Open-source
Key Management Library (open- source)
A Golang library for a key manager. Currently only works with file providers in .pem format and RSA, ECDSA encryption.
Deep Neural Networks - Intrusion Detection System for Network Packets in Cars (CAN Bus)
Deep Learning Neural Networks Cybersecurity
Deep Neural Networks - Intrusion Detection System for Network Packets in Cars (CAN Bus)
Implemented 1D Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Long Short Term (LSTM) and Gated Recurrent Units (GRU) networks on a recent attack data set for CAN. All models thus developed outperformed the existing state-of-art and achieve an almost perfect F1-Score of 1.0.
Convolutional Neural Networks - Transfer Learning for Visual Classification in Diseased Plants
Deep Learning Neural Networks CNNs
Convolutional Neural Networks - Transfer Learning for Visual Classification in Diseased Plants
Investigated the effects of varying the retrained portions of base CNNs, the effects of using different CNN architectures, and the effects of varying the network hyperparameters on the models' performances. With these objectives, 32 model variations were developed and evaluated using various standard metrics including accuracy, F1-score, and confusion matrices.
