Quaesio Quantum Sentinel

Data mining final project applying Apriori/Market Basket Analysis, RFM segmentation, and Monte Carlo simulation to MITRE ATT&CK threat actor data. Adopted a marketing analytics framework — threat actors as customer segments, techniques as product associations, co-occurrence rules as behavioral predictions — to produce a threat intelligence prototype from the pipeline outputs. The 767 association rules generated here were subsequently used as analytical input to the LANL Databricks exploratory pipeline.

LANL Auth Anomaly Detection

Bronze-stage exploratory pipeline on the LANL Comprehensive Cyber-Security Events dataset (~1.6B auth events) in Databricks/PySpark. Applied Apriori association rule filters from the CAP4767 data mining pipeline to guide anomaly detection on authentication events. Full ML pipeline intentionally withheld — currently in active development in Databricks. Resolved 7 GB+ CLI upload constraints via local file splitting and cluster reassembly.
