Projects
Selected projects I’ve built, deployed, and maintain on my own Ubuntu server — spanning full-stack web apps, an iOS app, deployment pipelines, and infrastructure work.
Featured
AI-Assisted IDS Dashboard Prototype
A live dashboard for AI-assisted intrusion detection on IoT networks, built as a working prototype for my MSc dissertation research — real-time device monitoring, a live threat feed, and detection-accuracy/response-time metrics. The ML detection pipeline behind it is still in development.
- Live device-status monitor and real-time threat feed UI
- Detection-accuracy and response-latency surfaced as live stats
- Front-end for an ML-based IoT intrusion-detection pipeline (in development)
- Ties directly into my MSc dissertation work
VoipPhone — Custom SIP Client In Progress
A full-stack replacement for using a stock SIP app on my self-hosted Asterisk PBX: a native iOS client with system-level call handling, backed by my own push-notification service — because a self-hosted SIP server can't use a stock app's push credentials.
- Native Swift/SwiftUI iOS app: login, keypad, call history, contacts, and in-call controls
- CallKit for native call UI and PushKit for background call delivery
- TypeScript/Express + PostgreSQL backend issuing VOIP push notifications, deployed with Docker Compose
- TLS-signaled, SRTP-encrypted calls end-to-end, matching the underlying Asterisk server
Live Projects
Student Management System Live
A web-based student management system for managing student records, authentication, dashboard features, and database-backed operations.
- Login and authentication workflow
- Database-backed CRUD operations
- Hosted on OVH VPS with Namecheap DNS subdomain
- Nginx reverse proxy configuration
QR Attendance System In Progress
A QR-based attendance management system hosted on my OVH Ubuntu server.
- QR-based attendance workflow
- Backend and frontend project structure
- Database storage and server deployment
Smart Learning System In Progress
A full-stack learning platform project with backend, frontend, database, setup scripts, and documentation.
- Backend and frontend separation
- Database integration
- Deployment-ready folder structure
DevOps & Infrastructure
Infrastructure Monitoring Stack Running
A Prometheus + Grafana monitoring stack watching my OVH VPS in real time — CPU, memory, disk, and network metrics on live dashboards, deployed entirely with Docker Compose.
- Node Exporter scraping host-level system metrics
- Prometheus as the time-series metrics store
- Grafana dashboards provisioned as code (datasources + dashboards via config files, no manual clicking)
- Bound only to my private WireGuard VPN interface — never reachable from the public internet
Secure VOIP Server (Asterisk) Running
A self-hosted Asterisk PBX with encryption enforced end-to-end — TLS-encrypted SIP signaling and SRTP-encrypted call audio, reachable only over my private WireGuard VPN. Verified with a real registered SIP client and a live encrypted test call.
- PJSIP with a TLS-only transport — no plaintext SIP exposed at all
- SRTP mandatory on every call (AES_CM_128_HMAC_SHA1_80)
- Bound to the VPN interface plus a firewall rule scoped to the VPN subnet
- fail2ban watching Asterisk's auth log for brute-force attempts
What’s next
- Server hardening with Ansible — SSH/UFW/fail2ban baseline and unattended security upgrades, idempotent and version-controlled instead of manual one-off changes.
- CI/CD deployment pipeline — GitHub Actions building and deploying on every push to main, with rollback on a failed health check.
- Containerized reverse-proxy platform — one Compose stack routing every subdomain, with auto-renewing HTTPS.
- Mini intrusion-detection dashboard — parsing fail2ban logs into a live blocked-IP view, feeding into the AI-IDS dashboard above.
- Automated backup & DR pipeline — versioned restic backups to S3 with a tested, documented restore runbook.
Coursework
MIT Missing Semester Completed
Worked through the syllabus and exercises from MIT's "Missing Semester of Your CS Education" — the practical, tool-focused skills that tie a CS education together.
- Shell fundamentals and the command-line environment
- Development environment and tooling setup
- Debugging, profiling, and version control with Git
- Packaging, shipping code, and code quality practices
