This always ongoing project involves the design, deployment, and administration of a robust homelab server environment built on TrueNAS SCALE. Serving as a personal cloud infrastructure and a dedicated platform for hands-on learning, it hosts a variety of self-managed services and provides a secure sandbox for experimenting with advanced computer systems and cybersecurity concepts.
This project involves the development of a sophisticated network security monitoring tool that combines real-time packet analysis with threat intelligence-driven detection. The system actively captures and dissects network traffic, identifying common attack patterns (such as port scans and unusual traffic volumes) while simultaneously cross-referencing connection origins against an updated blacklist of known Tor exit nodes. This integrated approach provides a robust solution for flagging suspicious network activity and demonstrates a comprehensive understanding of network protocols, intrusion detection methodologies, and the practical application of threat intelligence in a defensive security context.
This ongoing area of my skills focuses on the practical application of Computer Engineering principles to tangible hardware, encompassing both the design and repair of electronic circuits and systems. Leveraging Autodesk Fusion 360 for precise mechanical and enclosure design, coupled with advanced soldering techniques, I transform conceptual ideas into functional prototypes and restore faulty devices to operation. This demonstrates my comprehensive understanding of electronic components, circuit functionality, and the meticulous execution required for hands-on hardware development and maintenance.
I'm always open to discussing new projects, collaborations, or opportunities. Feel free to reach out!
