BASALINGAPPA DESAI

SOC Analyst | SIEM Specialist | Full‑Stack Developer

Cybersecurity professional with hands-on SIEM monitoring and incident response, and full-stack development: frontend (React, HTML, CSS, JavaScript), backend (Java, REST APIs), and SQL/MySQL for database design and queries. Skilled at 24×7 alert triage, log onboarding, building responsive UIs, and scalable backend services with clean data layers.

Projects

Frontend (React, HTML/CSS, responsive UIs), full-stack apps with SQL/MySQL, and security-focused projects. Production demos and research-oriented tooling. GitHub.

Smart Spoon for Enhancing Taste Perception

Problem: Individuals with reduced taste perception (age-related or medical) experience diminished dining satisfaction and nutritional engagement.

Solution: Hardware–software prototype using electrical taste stimulation (galvanic) with programmable control and signal modulation to enhance perceived taste.

Implementation: Hardware interfacing with Python control scripts; parameterized signal generation; reproducible experimental protocol.

Python Hardware Signal Processing
Network Slicing Project

Problem: Monolithic network configurations cannot isolate traffic or guarantee QoS for different service types (e.g., IoT, real-time, bulk), which is critical in 5G and multi-tenant environments.

Solution: SDN-based network slicing demo in WSL: isolated virtual slices with dedicated QoS (bandwidth, latency) and programmable control plane.

Implementation: Scripts to provision and manage slices; QoS and isolation validation; documentation for replication in lab environments.

Python SDN WSL
3D Medical Image Reconstruction

Problem: Radiologists and researchers need volumetric 3D views from 2D CT/MRI slices; manual assembly is time-consuming and error-prone.

Solution: Automated pipeline for preprocessing 2D slices, volumetric reconstruction, and 3D visualization to support diagnosis and structural analysis.

Implementation: Preprocessing and alignment; volume reconstruction; 3D rendering; support for standard medical imaging formats.

Python Image Processing Visualization
Employee Management System

Problem: Manual or spreadsheet-based employee records lead to inconsistency, poor access control, and no audit trail — hindering HR and operations.

Solution: Full-stack application with responsive frontend (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and SQL-backed persistence for CRUD operations, structured data model, and clear UI for admin workflows.

Implementation: Frontend: modular UI, forms, and validation; backend/database: SQL schema design, queries, and persistent storage; extensible for auth and role-based access.

JavaScript HTML CSS SQL
Chess Tournament Management System

Problem: Organizing tournaments — pairings, round management, tiebreaks, and standings — manually is error-prone and does not scale.

Solution: System to manage players, rounds, pairings, and results with automated pairing logic, standings calculation, and data persistence.

Implementation: Tournament lifecycle (create, add players, generate pairings, record results); standings and tiebreak rules; persistence (SQL/database or file-based) and reporting.

Python Data / persistence
Multilingual Translation SLM

Problem: Offline or low-latency translation across multiple languages is needed for accessibility and edge deployment where large LLMs are impractical.

Solution: Mobile-oriented system using a Small Language Model (SLM) for multilingual translation, balancing quality with resource and latency constraints.

Implementation: SLM integration and optimization for translation; multilingual data pipeline; lightweight deployment suitable for mobile or edge.

Skills

Frontend (React, HTML, CSS, JavaScript), backend (Java, REST APIs), SQL & MySQL, and SIEM operations — aligned with full-stack and SOC Analyst roles.

Java Full‑Stack Developer

Full-stack experience with strong frontend (React, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, responsive UIs) and backend (Java, REST APIs), plus SQL and MySQL for schema design, queries, and data modeling. Emphasis on clean code, MVC architecture, and scalable applications.

Backend

  • Java
  • REST API design
  • JPA / persistence

Frontend

  • React
  • HTML5 / CSS3 / JavaScript
  • Responsive UI & layout
  • Component-based design
  • State management

Database & SQL

  • MySQL
  • SQL queries & joins
  • Schema design & normalization
  • Indexes & optimization
  • MongoDB

Project: Enterprise Inventory API (Example)

Architected a three-tier application: React SPA frontend (components, state, responsive UI), Java REST API, and MySQL persistence with SQL schema design. Implemented authentication, DTOs, service layer, repository pattern (JPA), and transaction-safe operations. Frontend–API integration and clean data flow; deployed with Docker; API documented with OpenAPI/Swagger.

  • Frontend: React components, forms, and API consumption; responsive layout
  • Backend: clean MVC separation, controller → service → repository
  • SQL: normalized schema, indexes, foreign keys; efficient queries
  • Unit and integration tests for API endpoints

Notes on Best Practices

Emphasizes SOLID principles, proper exception handling, input validation, secure configuration, and CI/CD friendly structure. Demonstrates clear API contract, versioning, and documentation for handover to operations teams.
