What I build with
I don't rate myself out of ten. Here's where each tool actually shows up.

Every filled dot is a tool I used in that build — click a column to read how. “Infra” is my self-hosted stack: vault, storage, notes and photos on my own hardware behind a VPS I configured.

Where I'm strongest
Applied machine learning
Training models is the easy half. The work I keep doing is the other half — deciding what the model is allowed to decide. In ByteMed the model contributes evidence and rules make the call; in 3ayn a confidence gate decides whether to interrupt someone at all.
Pipelines that survive contact with reality
Both hackathon systems live or die on failure handling, not the happy path — an enrichment API that times out must not swallow a security event, and a witness who answers three minutes late must still land in the right conversation step.
Signals and embedded systems
From the Arduino fire detector that won two science fairs to a cross-correlation leak locator sized to run on a microcontroller. Comfortable where the maths, the power budget and the physical sensor all constrain each other.
Owning the infrastructure
Password vault, cloud storage, notes and photos — all self-hosted on hardware I control, tunnelled through a VPS I configured myself. It's why the cloud certifications are things I'm studying and running, not just reading about.
