SEP 2023 Web portal for Penetration testing tools

saratily/cpa-pen-testing-tool (github.com)

I created a web portal for penetration testing, using golang and reactJS, backed by postgres database. I integrated some command line tools, such as ping, whois, dig, nslookup, shodan,, nmap, and nikto, and some web enumeration tools, such as drib, wfuzz, wappalyzer and fuff. This web app provides a one stop shop to perform reconnaissance and scanning on a given domain. 1

During my cybersecurity course at UC, Berkeley, I gained expertise in both offensive and defensive cybersecurity. I also participated in solving CTF quiz, which provides scenarios like real world. Created and deployed a site on AWS environment. Also implemented firewall rules to filter the incoming traffic. Explored several open source tools, such as shodan, recon-ng, metasploit and many more for penetration testing. I used Splunk to analyze logs gathered from different platforms such as Linux, Windows, etc.. I also explored the Autopsy tool to perform digital forensics on data fetched from an iphone. JUN 2023 Hackathon: Shinkansen Travel Experience

data-sciences/11-Hackathons-Shinkansen-Travel-Experience at main · saratily/data-sciences (github.com) Shinkansen Bullet Train in Japan, and passengers’ experience with that mode of travel. This machine learning exercise aims to determine the relative importance of each parameter with regards to their contribution to the passengers’ overall travel experience. The dataset contains a random sample of individuals who traveled on this train. I used logistic regression, K-Nearest Neighbors and decision tree techniques to train a model for this problem and after tuning a random forest model, my solution had an accuracy of 0.951547.

JUN 2023 Detect Facial Emotions

data-sciences/09-Capstone-Project at main · saratily/data-sciences (github.com) Analyzed the food ordering pattern from a food aggregator company. I used the Jupyter lab with Anaconda to train, organize, run and analyze datasets and models that yield meaningful results. I used Base Neural Network, Convolutional Neural Network, Transfer Learning Architectures, such as VGG16, ResNet v2, and Efficient Net to create a computer vision model that can accurately detect facial emotions.
