I worked on a project that was working towards finding out how the victims of the OPM hack were coping with it. For that I prepared a coping coding based on various categories from the data extracted from twitter.

I also worked on a project where we used action / language based approach to enhance the filtering of phishing and spam emails.

As a teaching assistant, I helped over 600 students who had difficulties learning in java. I helped the students in various settings such as in lab, during open tutoring hours and during one on one sessions. The best part of the job was to see the students I have helped performing good in the class and their exams.

I led a team of 5-7 other T.A.s to manage lab sessions, assign duties and keeping track of student records.

Hyatt Regency
https://www.linkedin.com/company/hyatt-regency
While working as a Network Engineer at Microsense Pvt. Ltd., I was placed at a client location, i.e. Hyatt Regency.

At Hyatt Regency, I  was responsible for configuring the Network from scratch along with one more team member, during which we configured / worked with various devices like Cisco Routers and Switches, HP Switches, HP Wireless Access Points, HP Controllers and Nomadix Access Gateway.

I conducted some independent testing of devices and while doing that, I discovered some faulty devices which later on I documented and reported and saw it through a successful resolution.

I provided support for tens of training, meetings, conferences or any other sort of events which typically included setting up a temporary network, any troubleshooting during the event and maintaining customer satisfaction.

I always had a good reputation with the customers and made sure that I was able to help them in a most efficient and timely manner.

This project is funded by the NSF. It focuses on the better detection of Phishing and Spam emails with the use of "Acts" used in the language of those emails.
Enhance Detection of Phishing and Spam Emails
This was another NSF funded project that I have worked on. In this project, me and my team partner worked on coding the coping mechanisms used by the victims and or people related to the OPM hack. We used post hack data from Twitter associated with the hack for our analysis.
Coping Coding for OPM Hack Research
Our research uses artifacts from the Squid proxy server to conduct web browsing session reconstruction and analysis. The methods presented should enable researchers to perform accurate session analysis and browsing stream distinguishment from a collection of recovered Squid artifacts. The results reported should also serve as a positive contribution to previous research by providing a fast and reliable way to analyze web cache evidence in a forensic investigation where other source data may be unreliable.
Session Reconstruction and Visualization from Proxy Cache Artifacts
A semester-long NSA sponsored research project aimed at creating a confidence scoring system (based on a risk model from previous research) that rates the security level of a Cloud Service Provider (CSP), using FedRAMP (Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program) security controls and NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) guidelines. 
The FedRAMP security controls (implemented by the CSP) used in the risk model are only testable from the users' end without the help of the CSP. The confidence score determines how much trust to have in a CSP before migrating business services to them.
Enhancing Cloud Computing Risk Model by Adding Confidence Level
As a group of "Student Consultants", we performed a complete security risk analysis for a company (confidential), that includes identifying and assessing risks and vulnerabilities and suggesting remediation for them.

I had this great opportunity to work with YUVA Unstoppable. At YUVA Unstoppable, our main focus was to provide educational aid to children of homeless and poor people. This activity also included our teams visiting government schools providing any assistance with studies to these children, also to celebrate various festivals with them, bring sweets and other goodies for them through donations. Apart from this "Child Literacy"​ program, I also worked on YUVA Unstoppable's "Traffic Safety Awareness Drive" which involved helping the traffic police in managing traffic and spread awareness about traffic rules with the help of appropriate banners and signs.

With Bhoomi Foudndation, I and my team worked to get donations in different forms like books and tuition fee sponsors for underprivileged children (Sponsored about 50 students), blankets in winter for people in need (donated more than 300 blankets in Nov-Dec 2014), etc. and fortunately we had a good response from people. Also, with the help of my father's daily news paper, we were able to reach a large number of people in the city and a good number of people came forward and helped us.

        Having worked with Aalesh for several years, I’ve had the opportunity to see him grow from an individual contributor role, to building multiple teams across diverse geographic locations. 

I’ve had also the opportunity to see him lead some of the programs most challenging projects, such as deploying the companies first Zero Trust deployment as well as an enterprise-wide SIEM technology. 

From helping build the organizations first SOC, to leading engineering teams, Aalesh possesses a diverse set of talents that any organization would be grateful to have.   Chris Hasewinkle
      
          



            
              
        
              
  

    
        Aalesh has always been a strong team player, often putting the needs of our group above those of himself. There have been many instances where Aalesh has been asked to do tasks outside of his core responsibilities and he has consistently risen to the occasion. One of his strongest attributes has been the time he spends training and coaching his team, both newer team members and experienced alike. He has always had a passion for developing and training the team.

When you hire Aalesh you will get a reliable, loyal, and dedicated team-player. He is already very skilled but is always driven to improve and learn more. He will bring value to any team he is a part of and an organization will be better for having him be a part of it.
