Featured builds, research prototypes and everything in between. Each card opens a case study with the approach, highlights and source.
Post-Quantum Crypto · 2026
Research-grade PQ secure channel in C, implemented twice with two different post-quantum families behind one pluggable backend — ML-KEM-768 + Dilithium vs HQC-192 + SPHINCS+ — then attacked and benchmarked under a unified Docker harness. NIST PQ Category 3.
Kernel Fuzzing · 2026
Semantic fuzzing framework targeting the Linux kernel's network stack for race conditions — the OSIRIS Lab research project I lead. Coverage-guided mutation, Go-based corpus generation, and concurrency-aware race detection heuristics.
Kernel Security · 2024–2025
Kernel-level security enhancements to the xv6 OS — ASLR, W^X memory policies, stack canaries, process isolation, and custom system calls for security auditing. Built on the Lind sandbox research at NYU.
Adversarial ML · 2025
PGD adversarial training on MNIST, validating Madry et al. (2018) — achieving ~90% accuracy against PGD/FGSM attacks. Identified weaknesses under C&W attacks. Re-engineered TensorFlow 1.x → 2.x for CleverHans and ART.
Emulation · 2024
A fully functional CHIP-8 emulator from scratch — all 35 opcodes, 64×32 pixel XOR-based sprite rendering, SDL2 graphics and input, proper timing with delay/sound timers, and 16-key hexadecimal keypad.
Security Tool · 2026
A CLI tool to quickly scan binaries and applications for common vulnerability classes — weak permissions, outdated libraries, CVE matches, and ROP gadget detection. Designed for CTF and real-world assessments.
Productivity · 2026
A scheduling and time-coordination app I built for OSIRIS Lab dev meetings — find the slot that works across everyone's availability, without the spreadsheet chaos. TypeScript, end to end.
Project Management · 2026
A project management solution I built for OSIRIS Lab — coordinating 9 concurrent research projects, their leads, milestones, and student teams from a single control plane.
OS Security · 2025
OS-level security research using Rust, contributing to the Lind sandbox project — a restricted POSIX environment to safely execute untrusted code via WebAssembly. Part of NYU Tandon systems security research.
CSAW ’25 · challenge author
CTF Infrastructure · 2025
Authored a challenge for CSAW CTF 2025 and co-ran the qualifiers — challenge hosting, platform maintenance, and moderation at scale across dozens of global regions for one of the world's largest student-run security competitions.
Wargames · 2024
Documented solutions and methodology for OverTheWire Bandit and Natas wargame challenges — covering Linux privilege escalation, web exploitation, and crypto fundamentals.
