Developed an innovative artificial intelligence system designed to enhance daily productivity and user interaction through seamless voice commands. This versatile AI integrates advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) to accurately interpret and execute tasks including communication management, application control, and automated system commands. This project demonstrates my expertise in Software Development and system integration, reflecting a deep focus on creating intuitive, efficient, and secure human-computer interactions.

Protectium is an advanced web-based Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) system designed to neutralize credential-based attacks. By implementing three-factor verification, Protectium significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access, securing sensitive online interactions. Recent deployments have demonstrated a 40% improvement in security metrics and a 15% boost in user engagement through seamless, secure account management. This project highlights my expertise in Identity and Access Management (IAM) and secure system architecture.

AegisScan: AI-Assisted VAPT Framework AegisScan is a cutting-edge, open-source security platform that augments traditional penetration testing with Artificial Intelligence. By integrating an AI Reasoning Layer, AegisScan doesn't just find vulnerabilities—it interprets them, filters out false positives, and generates actionable remediation paths. It bridges the gap between raw scan data and executive-level security intelligence.
