ProductAIDataUser Experience
I build data and AI products that turn complex information into useful decisions — with evidence, trust, and human judgment built in.
Products and experiments I conceived, designed, and built independently, outside of employer work.
AI Product · Independently Created
Two imperfect signals about a web page — domain reputation and AI-generated-content detection — combined into one explainable 0–100 trust score, with the disagreements between them left visible. Built end to end, outside of any employer.
Writing & Research
Threat-actor research, internet measurement analysis, and essays on working with data. Earlier pieces carry the byline Meghal Donde.
A threefold rise in attacks against French networks, a Mirai-linked outbound surge from French infrastructure, and where the traffic originates.
Two years of telecom-decoy telemetry examined against the Salt Typhoon espionage campaign, with mitigation recommendations for network operators.
Attack sessions targeting government, defense, and education organizations across Southeast Asia and APAC, including command-and-control via webhook abuse.
A repeated signal on a dashboard is not evidence that a problem is ongoing. Three questions worth asking about concentration, confounds, and corroboration before an engineering team acts on one.
About
I work across product, AI, data, and user experience, turning technical systems and complex datasets into interfaces and workflows people can actually make decisions with. Much of that work has been in cybersecurity and internet measurement.
My background spans software engineering, analytics, data products, partner-facing work, and 0→1 product definition. More recently, I have been focusing on AI product workflows, evaluation, evidence, uncertainty, and human review.
The useful question is rarely what a model can predict. It is what someone is supposed to do next.
Earlier professional publications and public work may appear under the name Meghal Donde.
Credentials
The three things the work above depends on. I came up through computer science rather than into product from the side, and the AI credentials are recent by design.
