• Developed statistical and machine learning models to replace $100,000 worth of vendor-based advanced analytics over firm’s web proxy data
• Utilized Amazon Sagemaker (AWS) to train and deploy models, Amazon Elastic MapReduce (AWS) to create a cluster of EC2 instances for the distributed training of models, and Amazon S3 (AWS) to store the training and.
• Built and designed a data transformation platform that queries 7 days’ worth of raw web proxy data and then transforms the queried data into a numerical format so that it can be used to train the models developed in.
• Enriched web proxy data with data representing a variety of malicious behavior using adversary simulation software
• Implemented models using Apache Spark and Apache Hive via their Python libraries

A challenging problem in current hearing aid technology is source separation of a desired acoustic signal from an unwanted acoustic signal, such as speech, noise, and reverberations. Currently, the approach of blind-source separation, which does not utilize any information about the acoustic path between a speaker and a microphone, runs into difficulty.

• Implemented data pipeline that ingests open-source cyber threat intelligence data from several open-source security and event management systems via their respective APIs.
• Extracted more than 107,000 IPs, hashes, malicious hostnames and other indicators of compromise from the ingested open-source cyber threat intelligence data, used them to create STIX (industry-standard) objects and.
• Utilized the retrieved open-source threat intelligence data to programmatically create over 1500 reports in Goldman’s internal threat intelligence platform
• Deployed the data pipeline on the team’s production server and created fail-safe mechanisms such as automatic email generation and error logging to allow other security engineers to quickly locate and fix any issues

• Wrote reports, which was published on Protiviti’s internal security blog, on how hacktivist groups threaten banks across the Middle East and how Protiviti could assist clients in protecting their IT systems.
• Conducted research on the new VAT being introduced in several Middle Eastern nations and how Protiviti could help clients adapt their IT systems to the new VAT tax.
