Personal projects
Side projects, build notes, and experiments that connect coursework with practical hands-on work.
Adapted ten recommendations from the CIS Debian Linux benchmark to an Arch-based Omarchy workstation. The project used a rollback-first process, baseline and final Lynis audits, distribution-aware configuration, and independent checks for every selected control.
Cipherstone Lab is a browser-based cyber range built around a fictional university training scenario. It uses a terminal-style interface to practice enumeration, host discovery, credential reasoning, basic Linux navigation, and end-of-scenario debriefing.
Migrated Hermes from a single workstation into an always-on Debian virtual machine on Proxmox. The project preserved agent state and development work, moved messaging through a rollback-safe cutover, kept local desktop control for machine-specific tasks, and restricted remote access to a private Tailscale network.
A preserved collection of intentionally vulnerable applications and cloud environments for hands-on practice with API security, prompt injection, DeFi exploits, and AWS and Azure misconfigurations. Each upstream project is forked to my GitHub account so the lab material remains available for future study.
Weekly-style updates for site work, personal builds, GitHub changes, and deployments.
A detailed account of moving Hermes Agent from one workstation to an always-on Debian VM, preserving its working state, cutting messaging over safely, and keeping every remote service private.
Restructured the site direction around school progress and personal projects, added the technology stack, featured Cipherstone Lab, and tightened the GitHub-to-Vercel publishing workflow.
