Classifying the vulnerability of docker containers​

agile, python, docker, elasticSearch2016

Worked in a team of engineers to develop a tool that finds suspicious code in docker images. Intended for use in data centers, the tool works by mining security data from containers and then uses similarity matching to find malicious code snippets in the file binaries. (Mentored by IBM)

Visualizing the tech world

python, networkX, Gephi, webscraping2016

How do programming languages relate to one another?
As a confused student in school I decided to answer my question by constructing a network of keywords from the popular tech forum stackoverflow.com. The more often a tag appears with another, the stronger the connection between two tags become.

I thought that StackOverflow.com would provide an organic result due to its importance in the tech community.

Making a connection out of 1 post would look something like the above.
With a few million posts, I was able to get a much more descriptive visualization (below).
