Projects
2020 - Present
Home Server and Networking Project
- Designed and deployed a home server environment using TrueNAS Scale and Docker/Portainer to manage network storage, run multiple virtual machines, and host various self-hosted services.
- Configured and managed applications such as an image and media server accessible remotely via Tailscale.
- Set up a local area network with Cisco network switches and access points.
Fall 2025
Sequential Calculator (Verilog)
- Designed and implemented a synchronous sequential calculator using Verilog, deploying the final design to an FPGA architecture.
- Engineered finite state machines and arithmetic circuits to process, calculate, and store sequential logic operations using latches and flip-flops.
- Utilized CAD tools to simulate logic and verify combinational circuit timing prior to physical deployment.
Winter 2026
Assembler and Linker (C)
- Developed an assembler in C to parse and translate LC-2K assembly into machine-readable object files.
- Engineered a linker to resolve global symbols and relocate memory addresses, successfully combining multiple object files into a single executable.
Fall 2025
Drone Pathfinding (C++)
- Designed a high-performance solution in C++ to the Traveling Salesman Problem.
- Implemented a Branch and Bound algorithm using a Minimum Spanning Tree pruning heuristic.
Winter 2026
Web App Vulnerability Testing
- Exploited critical web application vulnerabilities (SQLi, XSS, CSRF) in a sandbox environment to demonstrate the mechanics of data exfiltration and account compromise.
- Extracted sensitive database records and bypassed authentication by engineering SQL injection payloads.
- Leveraged client-side vulnerabilities by crafting XSS payloads to extract sensitive session data and forging HTTP requests (CSRF) to execute unauthorized backend commands.
