Leveraged Neuroevolution (a Machine Learning technique) in a cybersecurity scenario. Performed research to determine the feasibility of this approach for intrusion detection. Designed and implemented a HyperNEAT experiment to develop an artificial neural network (ANN) that analyzes large amounts of network metadata to identify malicious activity. The project was presented at the Florida Undergraduate Research Conference in February 2025.
