I'm Vaishnav — a systems-focused engineering student building infrastructure, observability, and security tooling around Linux, distributed systems, telemetry pipelines, and real-time monitoring systems.

My current interests revolve around:

• Infrastructure Engineering
• Observability & Telemetry Systems
• SIEM & Security Analytics
• Distributed Systems
• Cloud-Native Backend Engineering
• Event Streaming & Real-Time Processing

focus_areas:
  - Infrastructure Engineering
  - Observability & Telemetry
  - SIEM & Security Analytics
  - Distributed Systems
  - Linux & Cloud-Native Systems
  - Real-Time Monitoring Pipelines

Multi-tenant SIEM and observability platform built using Go, Kafka, ELK Stack, PostgreSQL, Prometheus, Grafana, Docker, Kubernetes, and React.

• Real-time telemetry ingestion pipelines
• Kafka-based event streaming
• SSH brute-force and web attack detection
• Threat intelligence aggregation & risk scoring
• Live monitoring dashboards
• Sub-second alert generation workflows
• Event correlation & suppression logic
