Dallas, TX · Email

I am Rahul Verma, a dedicated and results-driven Computer Science graduate. I earned my master's degree from Binghamton University, and hold a bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering from University of Mumbai. Throughout my academic and professional journey, I engaged in various projects that strengthened my technical expertise.
I worked in Salesforce Marketing Cloud (SFMC), where I designed and implemented multi-step customer journeys in Journey Builder, integrating advanced decision splits, event triggers, and data updates to create highly personalized marketing experiences. I developed custom activities using SFMC SDKs and REST APIs, enabling advanced journey functionalities and seamless event-driven automation.
My experience included optimizing dynamic email templates using AMPscript for real-time content personalization, automating complex data transformations in SFMC using SQL, and leveraging Einstein Send Time Optimization (STO) to maximize engagement. Additionally, I conducted market analysis of competitor campaigns to guide strategic marketing decisions and generated detailed performance reports to improve campaign effectiveness.
With a strong foundation in software development, database management, and cybersecurity, I am eager to apply my expertise in cloud computing, data engineering, and automation-driven marketing solutions.

Projects

SQL Injection- Offense, Detection, Prevention and Deception

Mechanisms to Demostrate, Detect, Prevent and Decept SQLIA

  • Developed a comprehensive security framework incorporating Offense, Detection, Prevention, and Deception mechanisms to safeguard web applications against SQL Injection (SQLI) attacks.
  • Engineered a deliberately vulnerable PHP-based web application to simulate real-world SQLI attack scenarios.
  • Designed and trained a Naïve Bayes Classifier to detect anomalously long input strings indicative of SQLI attempts, enhancing real-time threat detection.
  • Implemented three-layered prevention mechanisms—Prepared Statements, MySQLi real_escape_string, and Input Validation—to fortify the application against SQLI exploits.
  • Developed an ML-driven deception mechanism that misleads attackers while logging malicious attempts for forensic analysis.
  • Utilized a technology stack including PHP, MySQL, XAMPP, HTML, and CSS to build and test the system in a controlled environment.
  • Social Media Data Collection System, Dataset Measurements and Sentiment Analysis

    Collect data from Social Media and analyze sentiments

  • Developed and deployed web scrapers to collect structured and unstructured data from social media platforms, including Twitter (sports-related content), Reddit (comments), and YouTube (comments), over a one-month period.
  • Designed an ETL pipeline to preprocess and store the extracted data in MongoDB, enabling efficient retrieval and analysis.
  • Conducted negative sentiment and toxicity analysis using Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques to assess user engagement and content moderation trends.
  • Generated data-driven visualizations using Matplotlib, providing actionable insights through interactive plots and sentiment trend analysis.
  • Student Registration System

    Complete system for registration of a student in a University

  • Developed a database-driven application to facilitate core student registration processes, including course enrollment, record management, and schedule tracking.
  • Designed and implemented PL/SQL-based database logic, incorporating Sequences, Stored Procedures, and Triggers to enforce business rules and maintain data integrity.
  • Integrated JDBC for seamless communication between the application and the relational database, ensuring efficient query execution and transaction management.
  • Built a text-based user interface, enabling interactive registration and administrative operations through command-line inputs.
  • Image Classification on Edges

    Standard image classification and creation of Edge Enhanced images

  • Conducted standard image classification using ResNet-18 on benchmark datasets (CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, SVHN, and Tiny ImageNet) and reported classification accuracy.
  • Utilized Dynamic Feature Fusion for Semantic Edge Detection (DFED) and Dense Extreme Inception Network (DexiNed) to extract and visualize edge features from images, leveraging pre-trained models provided by the authors.
  • Developed an edge-enhancement pipeline by combining detected edges with original images to create edge-enhanced datasets for improved feature representation.
  • Evaluated the impact of edge information by performing ResNet-18-based classification on (1) edge-only images and (2) edge-enhanced images, analyzing classification accuracy across all datasets.
  • Conducted a comparative analysis to assess the effectiveness of incorporating edge-based features in deep learning models for image classification improvements.
