Projects that show
how I think and build.

My work spans wireless security research, LTE experimentation, embedded systems, and public-facing web delivery. Across all of it, I care about practical depth, measurable outcomes, and clarity.

Selected projects and research

This first card shows the teaching and visualization project I am actively building this semester.

CYBSC/CPRE 5300

Wireless Security Learning WebApp

Spring 2026

I am building this project as the public-facing home for my Wireless Security Across the TCP/IP Stack Explorer. It is a teaching and visualization web app focused on how wireless attacks and defenses ripple across TCP/IP layers through case studies, diagrams, and structured explanations.

Visualization Network Security Wi-Fi LTE / 5G In development
  • I center the experience on jamming, wireless sniffing, rogue or fake access points, and LTE or 5G exposure paths.
  • I map each scenario to impacted TCP/IP layers, exposed information, security properties at risk, and possible mitigations.
  • I am designing it as a substantial educational deliverable rather than a lightweight demo.

Finding Weaknesses Before Attackers Do

Spring 2026
Informational microsite Cybersecurity communication Penetration testing Responsive web
  • Built a polished, standalone microsite for an English multimodal remix assignment about what penetration testers actually do.
  • Turned profile-based writing into a web-native format with comparison cards, workflow sections, pull quotes, and source support.
  • Focused the project on communication, ethics, and structured security work instead of movie-style hacking stereotypes.
