BREACH PROTOCOL REQUIRED TO ACCESS SECURE DATA
MANUAL OVERRIDE: SELECT ANY 5 HEX CODES TO FORCE ACCESS...
Yo, choom! I'm hardwired for rapid data acquisition—a useful trait when the Street throws new data your way. I assimilate new skillchips fast, and thanks to some high-spec cognitive implants (my op planning is flawless), I actually execute. Plotting a run? Love it. Bypassing corporate ICE? Sign me up. Finding a backdoor when the front gate is sealed? That's my jam.
I was self-programmed since day one (aka homeschooled), meaning I mastered self-discipline and managing the clock before most gonks figured out their morning alarms. Deadlines don't spook me—they're just another variable in the equation. I can navigate corpo hierarchies, too. I know when to follow the script and when to ask, "But what if we tried a different route?"
Basically, I’m always learning, always upgrading, and always ready to jack into a new challenge. Let's build something nova.
Arixian is a tech startup spinning up AI-driven security solutions that detect and deter intruders in real-time. Think of them as a digital tripwire for the 21st century.
During my gig at Arixian, I was tasked with building a microservice for secure optic-data streaming. My responsibilities included:
The job was to shunt encrypted video data from cameras to the cloud, ensuring it was locked down tighter than a corpo vault. My work at Arixian was a preem score, giving me valuable XP in building secure, scalable systems and a look into the real-world combat zone of digital security.

Tech Loadout: Python, Docker, GitLab, CI/CD, Secure Protocols
Oobalink is a fixer under the ooba Group, a major loan originator in the South African sector, running a network of franchisees.
My contract was to build an iOS prototype for streamlining client data acquisition—a fully interactive demo of the final product, no net-link required. Responsibilities:
This prototype served as a proof-of-concept for the suits, letting them experience the proposed functions firsthand without the risk of a live system. A solid gig in UX design and running ops off-the-grid. Access the ooba corp-site here.
Tech Loadout: Swift, SwiftUI, GitHub, XCode
Funky Chickens was a hustle slinging free-range, organic meat—real meat, not synth-protein—online and at street markets. My responsibilities were pure street-level fixer work:
Tech Loadout: Microsoft Excel, Yoco
Ran support at the IEEE ComSoc Global Communications Conference (GLOBECOM) 2024, helping the suits run their gig in the Cape Town sector.
Skills Acquired: Event Management · Conference Coordination · Team Coordination · Professional Comms View Op Report
Cumulative GPA: 64.7% (Proof that wrangling tech is a special kind of hell)
Special skills acquired: Debugging at 3 AM on a cocktail of caffeine and spite, and making circuits bend to my will (eventually).
Notable Data Uploads:Final aggregate: 82% (Turns out, being self-programmed doesn’t mean slacking.)
Final aggregate: 81% (A solid run, considering most of the data was uploaded in pajamas.)
This gig was a deep-dive into digital archeology: dragging a legacy radar simulator (FERS) kicking and screaming from C++98/03 into the C++20/23 era. The op was to boost performance, overhaul its maintenance protocols, and make sure the old beast could interface with modern chrome. Basically, future-proofing some critical software so it doesn't flatline.
View Op DetailsThe mission: lock down sensitive data transmissions from buoys in the Antarctic wastes. Working on a resource-starved STM32F051 chip, I implemented LZSS compression to shrink the data footprint and Blowfish encryption to wrap it in corpo-grade security for its trip through the Iridium sat-net. The result: a lean, mean, and secure data-stream that kept transmission costs from bankrupting the operation.
View Op DetailsThis project was a digital cage match: pitting the MD5 and MD6 hashing algorithms against each other. I ran them through their paces in C++ (software), OpenCL (GPU), and Verilog (pure hardware). The goal was to benchmark the trade-offs between flexible code and raw, on-the-metal speed, proving just how much preem performance you can squeeze out of parallel processing for crypto work.
View Op DetailsIn a city flooded with competing signals, your connection is everything. This project involved building a TOPSIS-based decision engine to automatically select the best Radio Access Technology (RAT) in a chaotic network environment. The algorithm juggles signal strength, data rates, and latency to ensure your device is always jacked into the fastest, most reliable connection available. Keeping you online, always.
View Op DetailsA custom-built wireless sensor grid designed to monitor environmental conditions at raptor nesting sites. The system runs on a network of ESP32-PICO-D4 motes and Raspberry Pi Zeros, equipped with DHT11 sensors. The whole rig was built to be a cheap, reliable, and power-sipping solution for beaming back a live data-feed from the wild. A low-tech surveillance op, but for actual birds of prey.
View Op DetailsYou'll find me jacked in, where the Net is stable and the signal-to-noise ratio is low. My interests include new tech, gaming, and convincing my cats that I am a worthy meat-servant.
With almost 3,000 hours in League of Legends, I’ve experienced the full spectrum of human emotions—mostly regret. I enjoy competitive sims that challenge my strategic implants (and patience).
I love spinning up new programming projects. Finishing them? Not so much. I'll get a spark of inspiration, dive into the code, and then, somewhere around the halfway mark, a new, shinier idea will appear. It’s a cycle, but it keeps the skills sharp.
I take digital security seriously—partly because it fascinates me and partly because I don’t trust the Net. I enjoy keeping up with the latest ICE-breaking trends and making sure my data is locked down tighter than a Militech vault.
I like cats. They don’t ask too many questions, respect personal space, and judge you silently—qualities I deeply admire.
