Work Snapshots
A closer look at the kind of work I enjoy doing.
What I Work With
Tools, platforms, and environments I use regularly.
Backend and API connections
I like making apps, devices, and backend services communicate clearly, especially when authentication and data flow matter.
Android and robot UI work
I enjoy building interfaces that make robot systems easier to monitor, test, and use in real environments.
Security-aware troubleshooting
I use logs, protocol checks, Wireshark, Nmap, and careful testing to understand what is happening inside a system.
Robotics and embedded systems
I like the hands-on side: sensors, ESP32, ROS, Linux environments, and hardware-software communication.
Cybersecurity Focus
Security is part of how I think, not just a separate checklist.
Network & protocol analysis
Comfortable using Wireshark, Nmap, protocol inspection, and log analysis to understand system behavior and troubleshoot issues.
Secure application flows
Experience around authentication, Google API services, Apple Sign-In, API testing, and safer backend communication patterns.
Cybersecurity academic base
Bachelor's in Cybersecurity with focus on ethical hacking, encryption concepts, PGP, VeraCrypt, and secure systems thinking.
Selected Work
Real projects, real devices, and a lot of careful problem solving.
Robot platform apps for service environments
Developed and optimized Android and Node.js experiences for robotics platforms used in retail, aviation, hotel, and service-industry contexts.
ESP32 smart device integration
Built hardware-software communication flows for IoT systems, including backend authentication with Google API services and Apple Sign-In.
Firmware and network analysis proof-of-concepts
Used Wireshark and Nmap to analyze protocols, support reverse-engineering efforts, and validate technical proof-of-concept programs.
Experience
Growing through hands-on teams, client work, and robot deployments.
