Operative Profile

Prem is a Cloud Security & Security Software Engineer with growing experience across cloud infrastructure security, application security, detection engineering, and AI-assisted workflows. He also possesses a strong passion and active interests in iOS Software Engineering, developing secure mobile applications.

The approach is methodical and adversarial: build environments, break them deliberately, document every finding, and improve resilience through hands-on iteration. Not just learning theory — shipping working systems.

From simulating brute-force attacks and mapping detections to MITRE ATT&CK, to building full-stack secure platforms with RBAC and audit trails — every project is engineered to solve a real security problem.

VERIFIED FACULTY CREDENTIAL
DOC-ID: BCU-CS-2026-PL
I am writing this letter of recommendation for Prem Kantilal Lodhia, who was a student in my Computer Systems module at Birmingham City University. As a lecturer, I have known Prem since September 2025, and I have had the pleasure of teaching him, where he proved to be an exceptional learner and an asset to our classes.

In the classrooms and labs, I found Prem to be a diligent and motivated student. He always showed enthusiasm for learning, participated actively in class discussions, and asked thought provoking questions. Additionally, he demonstrated excellent analytical, practical, and critical thinking skills, allowing him to quickly understand complex computing concepts and apply them effectively. Prem showed excellent performance when working individually and in groups, often taking a leadership role, and proved his ability to adapt to any learning and working environment.

Furthermore, Prem was consistently punctual and professional in all his interactions. He regularly submitted assignments on time, and his work was always of exceptional quality. In addition, he was proactive in seeking feedback on his work, which helped him continually improve his skills.

Prem's ability to adapt to new challenges, combined with his thoughtful approach to both technical and conceptual work, assures me that he will excel in his academic and career pursuits. His drive to expand his skillset beyond traditional boundaries demonstrates a forward thinking mindset and an eagerness to embrace innovation, both of which are key traits of a successful undergraduate student. I have no doubt that Prem will contribute meaningfully to any academic or industrial environment opportunities. I fully support his application and am confident that he will thrive in his professional and academic journey.

SMB Lateral Movement

Technique Description

Threat actors use SMB to execute commands or transfer files laterally across internal networks.

Detection Method

Monitor port 445 traffic for spikes or abnormal host traversal. Map logs to Splunk alerts using lateral_movement.yar rules.

Prem's Practical Application

Engineered a Docker container lab environment mimicking corporate LAN. Simulated SMB credential dumping and tuned Splunk alarms to eliminate false-positive telemetry.
