Practical Projects
Face Recognition Based Attendance System, 03/01/20 To 12/01/20
The proposed system aims to enhance the efficiency of the current attendance system by implementing a biometric attendance system that utilizes a face recognition software to aid educational institutions in recording and managing student attendance more efficiently.
- To evaluate and assess the current Attendance system commonly used by most universities.
- To address the issues faced with the traditional attendance system through a biometric attendance system to minimize errors in attendance taking.
- To ensure the proposed attendance system records the attendance in a systematic manner compared to the previous system.
- To ensure the proposed system recognizes the face of an individual based on the face database.
Security Information & Event Management, In progress
This project reinforces how central SIEM platforms are to SOC operations. From onboarding endpoints to investigating alerts, every step mirrors real workflow used in security teams. By building and interacting with a SIEM environment, I'm able to move beyond theory and into practical security monitoring. This experience will help me understand how detection, visibility, and response begin with centralized logging and analysis.
- SIEM deployment and configuration.
- Linux and Windows endpoint monitoring.
- Log ingestion and event correlation.
- Security alert visibility and investigation.
- Understanding how normal system behavior appears in a SIEM.
