Using Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology, my team is developing a modular indoor tracking system designed for both personal and professional use, with applications in security and automation.
The system is deployed as per-room tracking kits that automatically calibrate to the room geometry and integrate into a centralized server within the building.
Once deployed, the system enables inch-level positioning and real-time tracking of multiple devices across an entire building through an intuitive graphical interface.
The system is designed to scale across multiple rooms while maintaining high accuracy and reliability.
This implementation supports a wide range of use cases, as building security infustracture by monitoring visitor movement, automation in theater environments such as automated lighting and camera control, and warehouse applications for inventory and tool management.
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.
As well as expanding my knowledge of building stable and efficient computers.
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 schematics 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.
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.
