Cybersecurity & information systems. I build small, simple tools and contribute to open source.
I work mostly in the open, small security utilities, encryption tools, and the occasional web build. I care about simple and easy to read code, careful detail, and learning by making mistakes.
A Python application for encrypting and decrypting files using industry-standard cryptographic algorithms. A study in cryptographic principles and secure programming.
A web app for encoding and decoding text across classic ciphers. Originally built with vanilla JS and Tailwind, later rebuilt with React + Vite for a modular, modern stack.
A command-line tool that scores password strength against length, character variety, and common patterns — a small collaboration grounded in basic security principles.
A browser-based generator for strong, random passwords. Everything runs client-side — passwords are never sent over the network.
A responsive portfolio built from scratch with vanilla web technologies — a focus on minimal design, motion, and accessibility. (You're looking at it.)
It's no suprise that AI has dominated most front and backend roles, I utilize AI-assisted development to ship clean, responsive websites while keeping the design authorship, debugging, manual deployment, and quality control in my own agency. I scrutinize and peruse every change by hand, I also trace and fix errors myself, inspecting the console, and testing edge cases, and I can explain in-depth every component, every CSS choice, and the reasoning behind each one.
Hands-on systems work across the university's healthcare simulation center — AV capture, networked patient simulators, rack servers, and the cabling that ties the building together.
Our nursing simulation center is basically a small production environment: capture servers, networked manikins, wireless control links, and cable runs spanning the building. I approach it the way a defender approaches any environment, inventory every asset, documenting every path, assuming failure before it happens.
