Automation Showcase

AI & Orchestration Projects

AI Content Pipeline

AI-Powered Cybersecurity Blog

An automated content pipeline using a locally-hosted LLM (Ollama) and n8n to generate, format, and publish relevant cybersecurity articles. This demonstrates advanced skills in AI implementation and workflow automation.

Coming Soon
Live Threat Alerts

Real-Time Threat Alerting

A live security monitoring workflow built with n8n. It processes attack data from a Docker-based honeypot and sends real-time, formatted alerts to a Discord channel, simulating a modern SOC's automated response capabilities.
