A cybersecurity tool designed to identify the true file type of a file by analyzing its 'magic numbers' (file signatures) rather than relying on its file extension. Includes a forensic hex viewer and spoofing detection.
Technologies: React, Vite, Vanilla CSS, Python, FastAPI
CYBER // SONAR is a lightweight, zero-dependency, tactical intranet telemetry appliance designed to discover, track, audit, and visualize every physical device active on your local network in real-time.
Technologies: Python 3, FastAPI, SQLite WAL, HTML5 Canvas, Asyncio
PassGuard is a privacy-first, locally-processing web application designed to analyze password security, estimate entropy, simulate cyber attacks, and generate cryptographically secure passwords.
Technologies: React, Vite, Tailwind CSS v4, Python, FastAPI, Web Crypto API
QuickRef is an offline, terminal-first command reference tool built to eliminate context-switching while learning Linux, networking, Git, and cybersecurity. It delivers fast, clean, structured command lookups directly in the terminal.
Technologies: Python, JSON, ANSI Escape Codes, Setuptools
RepoChecker is a local-only, read-only CLI tool designed to catch accidentally committed secrets, sensitive files, broken .gitignore rules, and untracked work before pushing to GitHub.
Technologies: Python 3.10+, CLI, Regex
A deep dive into why relying on file extensions is a security flaw, and how I built a custom magic number identifier from scratch.
Reflections on building a tactical intranet telemetry appliance, managing MAC addresses without root privileges, and SQLite concurrent loads.
How I built a zero-dependency terminal command reference tool, why raw ANSI beats every pretty-printing library, and what Python packaging actually teaches you about import resolution.
Reflecting on the transition from personal projects to production systems and why writing working code is only a small piece of the engineering puzzle.
