Hey, I’m Nishal Babajee 👋

🧠 Malware Detection using AI

My final-year project — a deep learning system trained on the EMBER dataset to detect malicious executables. Built with TensorFlow and scikit-learn, it explores feature-based malware classification and AI-driven cybersecurity.

🧩 HomeLab Infrastructure

My personal self-hosted ecosystem powered by Docker Compose. It currently runs:

• GitLab — self-hosted version control for private projects
• Ollama WebUI (Gemma 2b) — locally-hosted LLM interface for private models and experiments
• FileBrowser — cloud-style web file manager
• Jellyfin — local media streaming server
• Minecraft Server — multiplayer world for testing automation and fun

All served through Nginx reverse proxy at nishal-hq.com.

🎮 Game Prototypes & Experiments

I occasionally dive into Unity and Unreal Engine to build interactive prototypes and experimental games — mixing storytelling, systems, and code creativity.

🔬 AI & Cybersecurity Experiments

Exploring how AI can be used to defend systems instead of break them — from anomaly detection models to privacy-preserving analytics. I love blending data science with security engineering.
