// CYBERSECURITY & SYSTEMS ARCHITECTURE • DIPLOMA CS (YR 2)
Second-year Computer Science diploma student building practical security tools, low-level socket monitors, and analyzing network exposure. Turning curiosity into defensive engineering.
SYSTEMS ARCHITECTURE & CORE DISCIPLINE
Building software with deep OS primitives, low-latency socket communication, and memory discipline.
int sock_fd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_RAW, IPPROTO_TCP);
if (sock_fd < 0) { perror("raw_sock"); exit(1); }
// Memory discipline & strict pointer bounds
make -j4 release && ./sentry_core --auditEngineering software from raw hardware interfaces up. Applying pointer bounds, stack/heap awareness, process tree hierarchies, and automated compilation with GCC and Make.

> socket.bind(("0.0.0.0", 9050)) [UDP_DGRAM]
> [OK] 0 packet drop | checksum: VERIFIED
> rtt: 1.4ms | payload_integrity: 100%Direct implementation of transport protocols (TCP/UDP). Capturing and decoding network frames with Wireshark to inspect packet structures, port states, and protocol drift.

Daily driver workflow on Debian and Kali Linux. Building idempotent Bash scripts with strict error traps (set -euo pipefail), process containment, and virtual lab sandboxes.
PORTFOLIO WORK
Practical projects applying concepts in networking, sockets, cryptography, and input emulation.
A Kali Linux CLI reconnaissance and port enumeration tool. Built with Python raw sockets to analyze transport protocol states, open ports, and service exposure.
A cross-device virtual gamepad system featuring a low-latency touch controller interface for mobile devices and an asynchronous Python receiver script for host laptops/PCs. Built to practice UDP socket communication, low-latency input streaming, and OS input emulation.
Currently in active development.
An interactive cybersecurity analysis and live benchmarking web application evaluating key-derivation algorithms (Argon2id, scrypt, bcrypt, PBKDF2, SHA-256) across execution latency, memory cost, and brute-force resilience.
Deployed live on Cloudflare Pages; source code maintained on GitHub.
A Firefox browser extension project examining declared extension permissions in manifest.json against statically analyzed WebExtensions API calls to identify over-privilege risks.
Currently in active development.
A native desktop application and standalone Windows installer (.exe) engineered for technical institutes and polytechnic colleges. Built with Tauri v2, React, and TypeScript with local SQLite storage for offline student placement analytics.
Published repository on GitHub.
Academic mini project developed for college coursework: a native desktop application with executable setup (.exe) utilizing Python, Tkinter GUI, and SQLite persistence for book issuance and catalog records.
Published repository on GitHub • Academic Mini Project.
SYSTEMS & DEFENSE EXHIBITION
