Selected work

• Supamask - A drop-in proxy that keeps your Supabase URL and anon key out of the browser. Express middleware plus a client wrapper, so your project reference and API keys never show up in network requests, page source, or CSP headers.
• Hermes - An internal platform working toward fully autonomous outreach - handling prospecting, research, and follow-up with minimal hands-on operation.
• Pi-Canary - A multi-crate Rust network canary for Raspberry Pi and Linux hosts. SSH and HTTP honeypots, live libpcap capture, ARP and scan detection, webhook and SMTP alerts, and an Axum-served terminal dashboard - with an optional AI risk sidecar.
• React2Shell Safeguard - A security proxy that shields React and Next.js apps from the React Server Components RCE and DoS CVEs (CVE-2025-55182 and related). Static analysis flags vulnerable dependency versions; dynamic analysis detects and blocks malicious payloads in real time. Ships as a CLI, a library API, and a Docker image.
• Seshat - A PostgreSQL and Supabase SQL generator in C, validated against short-lived PostgreSQL instances.
