available for SOC / security analyst roles

Apoorv Parmar.

> Security Analyst  //  SOC  //  Threat Detection

BTech Computer Science student building toward a SOC role — focused on network intrusion detection, threat hunting, and ML-driven anomaly detection. I build security tooling in Python and break things for practice on CTF wargames.

Projects

~/nids-scapy-ml

Network Intrusion Detection System that captures live traffic with Scapy, extracts flow features, and classifies malicious activity using a trained scikit-learn model. Designed as a lightweight, explainable alternative to signature-only detection.

Python Scapy scikit-learn Packet Analysis

~/smap-msl-anomaly

Unsupervised anomaly detection on NASA SMAP/MSL satellite telemetry across 82 channels. Benchmarked Isolation Forest, an MLP autoencoder, and a sliding-window autoencoder, with results surfaced in a 3-tab Streamlit dashboard.

F1 = 0.91 AUC = 0.95 Python TensorFlow Isolation Forest Streamlit

~/reconx

OSINT automation tool that streamlines the reconnaissance phase of an assessment — subdomain and asset discovery surfaced through a web dashboard. Picked up and forked by an external contributor.

Python OSINT Recon Web Dashboard

~/phishing-url-detector

Machine-learning classifier that flags phishing URLs from lexical and host-based features — a hands-on take on one of the most common initial-access vectors a SOC analyst triages.

Python scikit-learn Feature Engineering Phishing Detection

~/secure-file-sharing-system

Encrypted file-sharing system using AES symmetric encryption to keep files confidential at rest and in transit — a practical exercise in applied cryptography fundamentals.
