Twelve builds.
One workshop.
Each project starts with a question I couldn't answer by reading. Hardware on the desk, packets on the wire, code in version control — proof that the idea actually works.
RealTimeDefender
Hybrid AI-driven cyberattack detection — combines Random Forest with bidirectional LSTM, edge-deployable on a Raspberry Pi.
PatchPilot
Multi-agent AI cybersecurity platform — automated vuln detection & RAG-driven remediation across web apps and Android APKs.
Project AirGuard
Drone-based pollution monitoring — vehicle classification (fuel vs EV), real-time CO/AQI sensors, MQTT data pipeline.
OpenWRT Travel Router
Pi-based portable router — traffic redirection, ad-blocking, and VPN tunneling for hostile networks I don't trust.
ESP32 Marauder + GPS
Wi-Fi/BLE recon tool with GPS module, modified firmware, and display tweaks. Pocket-sized RF intelligence kit.
Hacker's Backpack Kit
Three-tier portable kit — Pi 4 + Pi Zero 2 W + ESP32 + NRF + PN532 NFC + TP-Link adapter, runs 8 hours.
Pi Mini Projects
Three single-purpose Pi builds: Wi-Fi scanner, BLE sniffer, and NFC/RFID toolkit (PN532). One Pi each. No bloat.
Secure SFTP Server
Samba + Pi + ZeroTier mesh — layered authentication, no exposed public ports, encrypted across every hop.
AdGuard DNS
Network-wide DNS filtering on a Pi — kills ads, trackers, and known malware domains across every device on the LAN.
PiVPN
Self-hosted WireGuard endpoint at home — every device tunnels back through a Pi. No third-party VPN required.
Wi-Fi Pen-Test Lab
Aircrack-ng / Reaver / Fluxion methodology against a router I own. Documented attack matrix, no real-world targets.
Docker Cyber Lab
Kali + DVWA + Juice Shop + Pi-hole containerised. Spin up a complete vulnerable lab in 30 seconds.
