Projects
Heph4estus
Developing an open source CLI-tool that automates useful infrastructure for penetration testers, bug bounty hunters, and engineers involved in red team operations. By using Terraform the tool is able to automatically instantiate infrastructure with any cloud provider. The infrastructure design is centered around the tools, for example using EC2 instances with powerful GPUs to crack hashes more efficiently with hashcat.
Key Aspects:
- -Automated red-teaming infrastructure
- -Cloud-agnostic deployment
- -Instantiates various security tools
- -Optimized for different tasks and providers
Th0th
Developing an open-source framework for distributed, privacy-preserving training of malware detection models across hybrid cloud and on-premise environments. The system combines secure aggregation and adversarial defenses to mitigate model poisoning and evasion attacks, with robust orchestration for scalable training workflows. Built on PyTorch Lightning, TenSEAL, and Kubeflow, it enables collaborative model development while safeguarding data privacy and integrity.
Key Aspects:
- -Distributed training across multi-cloud and on-premise nodes
- -Secure aggregation via homomorphic encryption and multi-party computation to protect model updates
- -Cybersecurity integration: Adversarial training, node authentication, and drift detection
- -Automated pipeline management with Kubeflow Pipelines for fault-tolerant workflows
- -Cloud-agnostic deployment (AWS, GCP)
- -Version-controlled datasets, feature validation, and preprocessing automation
Personal Portfolio Website
Designed and developed a modern, responsive personal portfolio website to showcase projects, skills, and professional experience. The website features a clean, minimalist design with smooth navigation and interactive elements.
Key Aspects:
- -Responsive design for all device sizes
- -Interactive project showcase
- -Dynamic content rendering
- -Optimized performance and accessibility
CTF Activity
Lead red team operations in support of several red vs blue exercises and CTF events. Utilized various scanning and enumeration methods & tools to emulate real-life scenarios. Developed custom scripts to facilitate exploitation of in-scope services.
Key Aspects:
- -Led red team operations
- -Utilized scanning and enumeration tools
- -Developed custom exploitation scripts
- -Emulated real-life scenarios
Pentesting Simulation
Participated in an Ethical Hacking class project where we were tasked with penetration testing four HackTheBox boxes. This project involved planning, execution, and reporting of ethical hacking techniques on both Linux and Windows systems.
Key Aspects:
- -Developed and delivered a comprehensive pentesting plan
- -Conducted port scanning and vulnerability assessment
- -Executed exploits and payloads using Metasploit
- -Performed privilege escalation on compromised systems
- -Worked with both Linux and Windows operating systems
The Movie Database
Led the back-end development of a movie database website (similar to TMDB) leveraging an API that included endpoints related to searches, synopsis, reviews, and general information about movies. Implemented the backend framework using Spring Boot and Java.
Key Aspects:
- -Led back-end development
- -Implemented API endpoints
- -Integrated with TMDB API
- -Developed REST API
Automated CRUD AWS
Developed a website that automates the creation of customizable CRUDs using Node.js, React, and a combination of AWS services. Responsible for leading back-end development. Designed the AWS Structure that automates and takes in the CRUD Design from users.
Key Aspects:
- -Led back-end development
- -Automated CRUD creation
- -Designed AWS infrastructure
- -Integrated multiple AWS services
NFL Wordle
Led the front-end development of a Wordle-inspired website centered around guessing NFL Players, featuring multiplayer options to play against other users.
Key Aspects:
- -Implemented and designed most of the front-end using Bootstrap, CSS, JavaScript, HTML, and Figma
- -Focused on user experience through thoughtful design
- -Collaborated with backend team on API data parsing and MySQL database architecture
- -Developed multiplayer functionality for user engagement
