Work
Hands-on builds outside the day job — hardware, automation, and hacking on things end to end.
White Matter — Local AI Rig Build
A custom ITX PC build for running local LLMs — built to experiment hands-on with AI tooling from a security perspective.
Read write-up →IoT Honeypots & Live Attack Dashboard
Deployed SSH, Telnet, HTTP and HTTPS honeypots on AWS to measure how much GeoIP filtering and rate-limiting actually reduce IoT attack volume.
Read write-up →Drone Build
A ground-up drone build during lockdown — hardware sourcing, soldering, and flight-controller programming, done manually end to end.
Read write-up →VERA — Offline Speech Recognition for Field Testing
An industry-sponsored, fully offline speech recognition tool built for test engineers working on autonomous driving technology.
Read write-up →Automated Vial Filling & Capping Station
A four-stage automated pharmaceutical vial line — rotary table, fill, cap, and vision-based inspection — built from scratch with a classmate.
