Harshdeep Athawale

A reverse-proxy AI WAF pairing DistilBERT request inspection with Redis rate limiting, DDoS detection, and bot scoring — outperforming ModSecurity OWASP CRS v4 (96% vs 46%) on 675 real-world payloads. Fine-tuned across 10 web attack classes for 97.5% detection on Path Traversal, XXE, SSRF, and LDAP/XPath injection, with inference cut 8× (46ms → 6ms p50) via ONNX Runtime and served as a multi-tenant FastAPI service with monitor, block, and challenge modes.
