    - Leveraged state-of-the-art academic research on machine learning security to implement evasion and model-stealing attack algorithms in Python to be used against deep neural network models
    - Streamlined the process for integrating new attack algorithms by using Docker containers to compartmentalize services and designed a Protobuf-based protocol for standardizing communication between master and worker containers
    - Used React to build a web-based user interface that communicates with a Python-based web backend server over a RESTful API.
    - Trained and tested machine learning models using TensorFlow 2.0 and Keras, to validate attack algorithms.
