Project Associate
Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) · Oct 2023 – Nov 2025
- • Conducted in-depth EDA and refined feature engineering for Trust Score Calculation, addressing top causes of false positives and achieving a
- 25–30% reduction in false positive rates.
- • Designed and implemented ML models (Random Forest, SVM Regressor) embedding real-time network data and threat intelligence from
- 10,000+ hosts, achieving 96% accuracy in predicting trust scores within a Zero Trust architecture.
- • Validated and verified test cases for an eBPF stateless firewall, focusing on port, protocol, and IP filtering, ensuring accurate classification of
- traffic with zero unintended packet drops and identifying 20+ edge cases.
- • Conducted performance testing using sizeable rule sets and Hyperscan for pattern matching, identifying and documenting 30+ rule-level
- optimisations and compilation issues across 1,000+ firewall rules.
- • Established and executed Cisco TRex to replicate high-volume network traffic for stress and scalability testing, analysing 1–5 Gbps traffic loads
- to ensure system stability, throughput, and detection accuracy.
