- Built a GitLab CI/CD pipeline to streamline sensitive credential leak detection, identifying 120+ exposed API keys. - Developed GitHub and Postman scanning workflows by combining the GitHub Search API and Selenium automation, analyzing 500+ code collections for credential exposures. - Automated threat detection workflow that processed 130+ mobile apps to uncover security misconfigurations. - Validated candidate keys against the internal authentication API, reducing false positives by 70%. - Integrated the pipeline with a Slack bot to deliver real-time alerts, initially identifying 35 client-leaked API keys and subsequently running weekly to monitor production environments and public repositories.

- Configured a sandboxed malware analysis lab using FlareVM and REMnux, analyzed 50+ malware samples, producing detailed behavioral traces and IOCs.  - Performed in-depth static and advance malware analysis using open-source tools such as FLOSS, Binwalk, Procmon, Volatility, PEStudio, RegShot, extracted 100+ indicators of compromise, and mapped malware behaviors.  - Researched polymorphic and metamorphic malware generation with Large Language Models (LLMs) and documented quantitative results across 50+ samples. - Created Multi AI agent Architecture with LLM to compare 3 different prompt strategies (Direct, Indirect and Adversarial prompts).  - Utilized AI agents to compare Direct vs. Adversarial prompt strategies, measured comparative success rates (highest with adversarial prompts), and generated 51 compiled and 35 executable malwares using LLMs.
