RAPID - Configured and maintained the GoCD configuration for the project, automating as much of the build-test-release process as possible from code check-in to deployment, ensuring that the software could be reliably released at any time.CINDAM - The goal for the CINDAM system is to make networks deceptive to attackers and therefore improve their resiliency to cyber-attacks.

I assisted with the design and implementation of several components of the software defined network for use in the proof-of-concept demonstration. Also assisted with database design and manipulation via Python.ZDAY - ZDAY is a security service designed to detect insider threats before they happen, based on divergence from learned behavior rather than hard rules. I spearheaded research into newer technologies (Event Tracing for Windows) and platforms (Windows 7), ensuring that the current implementation of the project could be extended or partially rewritten to accept them. This eases the transition to more modern versions of the operating system by no longer requiring kernel modifications.EdgeCT – Distributed Enclave Defense Using Configurable Edges (DEDUCE) - DEDUCE analyzes the characteristics of a WAN and makes decisions on task and flow treatments that maintain both local task and global network utility. Wrote scripts and vignettes on ILab to demonstrate problem areas with DEDUCE and worked with various members of the team to resolve them. Show less

Designed and developed efficient data processing modules for analyzing a large IP traffic dataset comprising 3.8 billion NetFlow data records from an enterprise network collected over 198 days. The work helped demonstrate advanced mathematical algorithms developed under the "Complex Networks" program, funded by the AFOSR agency. Assisted in the development of the “Cyber Unification, Security Hardening and Protection of Operation Frameworks” (CRUSHPROOF) program.

The work helped demonstrate advanced mathematical algorithms developed under the "Complex Networks" program, funded by the AFOSR agency. Assisted in the development of the “Cyber Unification, Security Hardening and Protection of Operation Frameworks” (CRUSHPROOF) program. CRUSHPROOF provides a framework for services and communications between disparate computer network defense technologies in order to provide a near real time cybersecurity situational awareness of the network. Role was to adapt third party security tools (ClamAV, tripwire) to the framework.Assisted research into network stability on a project that developed fundamental tools to help eliminate configuration errors in cyber infrastructure.Assisted in the development of the Zero-Day (ZDay) program. ZDay provides functionality for monitoring employees and identifying insider threats before malicious activity can occur. Role was to research the functionality and viability of Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) as a method for threat detection in Windows 7.Designed and implemented the base framework for reading and parsing ETW messages into ZDay. Designed and implemented software to monitor file generation/modification using ETW and raise alerts accordingly in real-time. Show less

Assisted in the development of the Coastal Ocean Observation Lab “COOL Classroom” website. Created a multitude of small flash animations to augment the instructional modules that link middle and high school classrooms with active research investigations at the Rutgers RMCS “COOLroom”.
