Science Olympiad — AIR 1
2006 · All India Rank 1
Run by the Science Olympiad Foundation (SOF) — a New Delhi-based nonprofit founded in 1998 by Mahabir Singh with a group of academicians, scientists, and media personalities. NSO was SOF's very first Olympiad and has since grown into one of Asia's largest school science competitions.
- Organizer: Science Olympiad Foundation (SOF), est. 1998
- Scale today: 91,000+ schools across 70+ countries
- Format: two-level test of scientific reasoning & logic, classes 1–12
- Result: All India Rank 1, 2006

Case Studies — Technical Deep Dives
Proof of work · Two technical deep dives, written up in full
A short technical deck covering two real problems: reverse-engineering a live production WebGL shader with no source access, and designing a three-layer client-side architecture for graceful failure under any browser or GPU condition.
- Case 1 — recovered a "gravity lens" cursor-warp shader from a shipped, minified JS bundle with zero source access, then validated the finding by reimplementing it
- Case 2 — a three-layer resilience architecture (feature detection → containment boundary → content-equivalent fallback), the same pattern this site's own WebGL fallback uses

Security Log Analysis: Performance Case Study
Proof of work · Engineering report, 15 October 2026 · From a 14-minute run to under five, with the evidence
A pipeline that reads Windows security event logs and flags suspicious activity was verified against one complete real Security log: 188,406 records, parsed in full with no sampling, every enabled rule and detector run. Round 1 did not meet its memory goal, and the report said so. Round 2 cut pipeline time by 75% (849 s to 209 s), peak worker memory by 62% (3,628 to 1,393 MiB) and the result handoff by 94% (440 to 26 MiB), with zero swap and ten of ten analytical outputs unchanged.
- Measured on one log and one VM. Database saving, browser latency and concurrency were not measured, and are listed as open findings
- Shown as a GRC-style findings register: 10 findings with risk before and after controls, a heat map, controls and evidence
- The risk ratings and ISO/IEC 27001 references are my indicative reading, not an audit. Product and project names, paths, hashes and record values are withheld

SOC + Field-Ops Graph (Design Exercise)
Systems design exercise — not operational SOC experience · Extending this site's own graph model to security operations
Most SOC platforms and physical-security/guard-tracking systems run as two disconnected tools — one tracks alerts, incidents, and assets; the other tracks people, zones, and shifts. This is a systems-design exercise applying the same typed-entity/typed-relation model already running live on this site's Knowledge Graph node to that gap: a digital layer (Alert, IOC, Asset, Playbook, Incident, Analyst) and a physical layer (Operator, Zone, Shift, Device), bridged by explicit cross-domain relations.
- Digital layer: Alert —triggeredBy→ IOC, Incident —investigatedBy→ Analyst, Analyst —followsPlaybook→ Playbook
- Physical layer: Operator —assignedZone→ Zone, —onShift→ Shift, —equippedWith→ Device
- The actual point of the exercise — three bridging relations: Incident —dispatchedTo→ Operator, Incident —occursAt→ Zone, Analyst —coordinatesWith→ Operator, answering "which operator is nearest this incident right now" as one graph query instead of two separate dashboards
- A schema, not a deployment — no real SIEM, GPS, or dispatch-system data behind it yet; the honest next step is real feeds into a graph database, not a bigger diagram
