Architect | Builder | Breaker
I started out as a full-stack engineer and gradually moved deeper into security. Over time, I’ve learned that security has to be part of how systems are designed from the start.
My work sits at the intersection of building and breaking. I think like a developer when creating systems, but I also approach them with an attacker’s mindset to understand how they might fail.
I focus on network protocols and system internals, using that perspective to design layered, resilient systems that hold up in real-world conditions. My goal is simple: build software that works but also stays secure under pressure.
Diploma in Software Engineering | 2024 - 2026
Foundation in software architecture, full-stack development, and SDLC. Learned to build production systems, not just write code. Major project: Verba real-time audio transcription platform with WebSocket streaming achieving sub-100ms latency.
Security Analyst | Sep - Dec 2025
Transitioned from building systems to breaking them. Conducted active network exploitation: ARP spoofing, Man-in-the-Middle attacks, deep packet inspection with tcpdump. Moved from passive scanning to offensive operations, learning that you can't secure what you don't understand at the protocol level.
AI Practitioner Certification | Oct 2025
Intensive one-month specialization in Machine Learning pipelines and Data Engineering. Learned to treat security as a data problem: apply ML to threat detection, use predictive models for risk analysis, build automated classification systems. Not about using ChatGPT—about understanding the math and pipelines behind intelligent systems.
Forensic-Grade Screenshot Tool
Local-first desktop application engineered for security professionals. Features granular image quality adjustments, automatic PII redaction (API keys, IPs) via regex/OCR, and strict chain-of-custody tracking.
Zero-Liability Digital Risk Protection SaaS
Architected enterprise-grade microservices platform with defense-in-depth security achieving 75% attack surface reduction. Built Neo4j-powered graph database to map complex threat relationships, risk scoring engine with MITRE ATT&CK integration, and Stripe-based usage billing with automatic quota enforcement.
User-Space Network Ad Filter
Built a real-time ad blocker from scratch in Rust without using any external libraries. Bypassed kernel/root requirements by engineering a Layer 7 proxy that intercepts HTTP traffic in user space. Manually captures raw TCP streams, parses HTTP requests, detects ad signatures (like "banner", "ad", "tracker"), and injects instant 403 Forbidden responses to block ads before they load.
