Shayaam Shaheem

Computer Science graduate focused on network security. CCNA-certified, comfortable in Linux and the terminal, and I build practical security tooling in Python and Java - from a multithreaded port scanner to a facial-recognition pipeline.

01 - whoami

Security-minded, from the packet up.

I'm a Computer Science graduate of Maldives National University with a strong pull toward networking and cybersecurity. My CCNA training gave me a solid grounding in how traffic actually moves - routing, switching, subnetting, and troubleshooting - and I like working close to that layer.

My final-year project brought that together: a Network Intrusion Detection System with Explainable AI that classifies network flows as benign or malicious with machine learning, then explains every decision in plain English using SHAP and LIME, all streamed to a live React and FastAPI dashboard.

Most of what else I build is hands-on: a TCP port scanner that fingerprints services, a facial-recognition system using OpenCV and dlib, and several Java simulations exploring queues, data structures, and game logic. I'm just as happy configuring a lab in Cisco Packet Tracer or a VM in VMware as I am writing code.

I'm looking for a first role in cybersecurity, networking, or software development where I can keep learning and contribute to real, practical work.

Things I've built

Pulled straight from my GitHub - security tooling, systems simulations, and web builds.

NIDS with Explainable AI

My Final Year Project: a machine-learning Network Intrusion Detection System that classifies network flows as benign or malicious with a Random Forest, then explains every decision in plain English using SHAP and LIME. A second model names the attack type - port scan, DoS, brute force - and a React + FastAPI dashboard streams live alerts and their explanations over WebSockets.

Multithreaded Port Scanner

A TCP scanner built on raw sockets and a thread pool that sweeps the first 1024 ports of a target, flags what's open, and grabs service banners to fingerprint what's running behind each port.

Facial Recognition System

An end-to-end pipeline that detects faces, extracts 68-point landmarks, computes 128-dimensional embeddings with dlib's ResNet model, and classifies identities with an SVM - plus a Tkinter tool for live rating.

Supermarket Simulation

A discrete simulation of a supermarket: multiple checkout queues, VIP customer prioritization, randomized arrivals, and live inventory management - modelled with custom queue structures and built with Maven.

Crossword Puzzle

A CLI crossword game on a 15×20 grid that hides words behind hint clues, tracks player guesses, and reveals the board as it fills - an exercise in 2D-array manipulation and game-state logic.
