## Experience Summary
- **ALSTOM (Regional APAC Cybersecurity Dept)** - Cybersecurity Analyst Intern (May 2025 - July 2025, Bangalore, India): Ran the Initial Risk Assessment (IRA) for Alstom's R1 railway signaling system under IEC 62443. Mapped a 4-zone Purdue trust architecture (Zones A to D, 25+ sub-zones, 5 formal conduits CDT-01 to CDT-05) across Depot and Main Station topologies and authored a 40-page technical specification mitigating 23 industrial cybersecurity risks (reducing all Very High and High severity risks to zero post-mitigation).
- **Pandit Deendayal Energy University (PDEU)** - Undergraduate Researcher (2025 - 2026, under Dr. Punit Gupta): Developed a Queuing Search Algorithm (QSA) task scheduler in PureEdgeSim (55% latency reduction over Genetic Algorithms, 99.9% task completion across 300 edge nodes and 30,450 tasks) and benchmarked YOLOv8n vs YOLOv11n on INSAT-3D satellite imagery for tropical cyclone detection (0.921 mAP@.50-.95).

## Featured Engineering Systems
1. **Recall** (`https://github.com/CptPrice743/Recall`): Serverless multimodal knowledge ingestion pipeline on AWS Lambda (OCI container with Python 3.11 + static ffmpeg), Amazon API Gateway, Gemini 3.5 Flash Lite Vision (batching 10 carousel slides in < 3s), Groq Whisper audio fallback, and headless Google Keep sync.
2. **Pixel Pusher** (`https://github.com/CptPrice743/serverless-image-resizer`): Event-driven serverless image processing pipeline using dual S3 buckets (preventing recursive invocation loops), pre-signed PUT URLs, and a Docker-compiled Pillow AWS Lambda layer.
3. **PaperPilot** (`https://github.com/CptPrice743/research-paper-rag`): Low-latency academic document QA engine using PyMuPDF two-column block parsing, HuggingFace `all-MiniLM-L6-v2` embeddings, in-memory FAISS (`IndexFlatIP`), Redis token-bucket rate limiting, and Groq Llama 3.3 70B streaming under a 512MB RAM budget.
4. **Deadlines** (`https://github.com/CptPrice743/appointment-scheduling`, Live: `https://deadlines.vyom-uchat.workers.dev/`): Full-stack MERN healthcare appointment scheduling platform with 3-tier RBAC, recurring doctor availability templates with date-specific exception overrides, and atomic double-booking locks.
