Mentorina Inc., (Montreal, QC) July 2015 – Current User Experience Researcher and IT Analyst (Aug. 2015 - Present) Hossein Abbasi 1

Analyzed multiple aspects of user experience through server logs, online experiments, benchmark studies, lab studies, and surveys.

Worked on projects and with other researchers, designers, the core engineering team and product managements to deliver insights for identifying user needs and goals. Used data to identify user needs, and product requirements to drive future re-designs. User Experience Researcher - intern (July 2015 - Aug. 2015) Worked directly with other designers, product managers and a collaborative R&D team. Ecole Polytechnic of Montreal, (Montreal, QC) May 2012 - Aug. 2015 Research Assistant- Cloud Computing Security Researcher Discovered a new platform for detecting different type of attack in Cloud computing security. Managed and monitored cloud infrastructure using virtualization tools such as VMware, VRealize Suite & QEMU(KVM) and Docker.

Implemented cloud environment by using QEMU(KVM).

Studied different types of network tools, signature based IDS and IPS, anomaly based tools, DPI tools.

studied and analyzed OpenStack and AWS.

Integrated old network security solution with Cloud Environment Architecture by using Linux troubleshooting tools such as Vnstat, Netstat and IPTraf. Used kernel events for detecting attacks in cloud computing. Used Machine learning algorithms to anomaly detection in cloud computing. Analyzed and Detected TCP SYN flood attacks based on kernel-events in Cloud Computing. Conducted survey on cloud computing and security concept in cloud. Analyzed LAN/WAN networks, virtualization, hosted services, multi-tenant cloud infrastruc- tures, storage systems, content delivery networks, Firewalls, Proxy Servers, Load Balanc- ing, VPN, database systems and distributed compute environments. Investigated attacks and mitigation methods, Network protocols and secure network design; Operating system internals and hardening; Web application and browser security; Security assessments; Authentication and access control;
