Cybersecurity and AI & Data Science graduate: MSc Cybersecurity (Coventry University) and BTech AI & Data Science (KLH University). I build offensive and defensive security tools and machine-learning systems that make security smarter. Open to roles in penetration testing, SOC and security operations, data science, ML engineering and AI security.
I'm Saketh, a graduate with a foot in two fields that increasingly need each other: Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence.
I started with a BTech in AI & Data Science at KLH University (First Class, CGPA 8.55/10), where I learned machine learning, data analysis and programming. I then completed an MSc in Cybersecurity at Coventry University, specialising in ethical hacking and penetration testing.
My projects reflect both sides. VASTA, my MSc dissertation, is a fully custom Python vulnerability-assessment pipeline that discovers and validates web flaws such as XSS, SQLi and LFI. My Honeypot Threat Intelligence Platform captures live attacker activity, enriches it with threat-intel data and maps it to MITRE ATT&CK. XAI-IDS is a machine-learning intrusion detection system that uses Random Forest and SHAP so every alert comes with an explanation. CodeSentry applies AI to find and automatically fix vulnerabilities in code.
Whether it's breaking into a web app, analysing attacker behaviour or training a model to spot threats, I enjoy turning complex problems into clear, practical results. I'm looking for graduate or junior roles in cybersecurity (penetration testing, SOC analysis, security operations) or AI & DS (data science, machine learning, AI engineering), and especially roles that combine the two.

Built a fully custom Python vulnerability-assessment pipeline covering the recon and discovery phases of a web pen test (subdomain enumeration, live-host detection, endpoint, sensitive-file and directory discovery) with no reliance on external scanners. Implemented active checks and pattern-based triage for XSS, SQLi, LFI, open redirect and CORS misconfigurations, validated against DVWA, Testfire and Metasploitable.
Deployed a Cowrie SSH/Telnet honeypot in Docker to capture live attacker activity. Built a Python pipeline enriching sessions with GeoIP, AbuseIPDB and VirusTotal IOC data and mapping attacker commands to 14+ MITRE ATT&CK techniques in a Plotly threat-intelligence report.
