OCT 2023 Generated Google Map using multiple latitude and longitude I created a drupal based application which read multiple pairs of latitude and longitude and generated Google MAPs with all the locations pinned. This application read coordinate information from autopsy (a tool used in digital forensics) and generated the map. This will help in visualizing all the coordinates and analyze user activities.

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 a 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. Mar-Aug 2023 Explore different aspects of cybersecurity ssaratily/cyber-security (github.com)

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 used 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. The accuracy of my solution was 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 Deep Learning and Artificial Intelligence techniques to create a computer vision model that can accurately detect facial emotions.

JUN 2023 Street View Housing Number Digit Recognition https://eportfolio.mygreatlearning.com/sara-tily?utm_source=social&utm_medium=linkedin This project involves recognizing street view housing number digits using artificial and convolutional neural networks. I used Google Colab to train, organize, run and analyze datasets and models that yield meaningful results. 2

APR 2023 FoodHub Order Analysis

https://eportfolio.mygreatlearning.com/sara-tily?utm_source=social&utm_medium=linkedin 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. In this project, I learned how to leverage data to improve decision-making within an organization.
