Building things, then documenting them
I'm a Computer Science student at St Joseph Engineering College, currently a member of The Sceptix Club, where I help set up Linux environments, standardize Git workflows, and talk about Android security. Outside of that, I run a homelab, write small full-stack apps, and generally enjoy making systems do exactly what I want them to.
The toolbelt
- Java, C, C++, Python
- Bash, JavaScript, Kotlin
- HTML, CSS, JavaScript
- Arch Linux configuration
- systemd service management
- Kernel parameter tuning
- pacman / AUR, shell scripting
- Proxmox VE — node provisioning
- VM / LXC management
- Self-hosted services
- Network configuration
- Backup strategies
- Remote operations (SSH)
- Security hardening
- Performance benchmarking
- Git — branching, merging, conflict resolution
- Android security — permissions, encryption, secure storage
Where I've put it to use
Member, The Sceptix Club
- Helped set up Linux environments for members, demonstrating package management, system configuration, and security best practices.
- Standardized the use of Git across club projects, teaching members how to manage branches, handle merges, and track project history.
- Delivered presentations on securing Android apps, focusing on permissions, encryption, and secure data storage.

Homelab — Proxmox & Arch Linux
A personal server setup running Proxmox VE, hosting a handful of VMs and LXC containers for whatever I'm experimenting with that week. Every Arch install is done the long way — partitioning, bootloader, AUR helpers, hand-rolled systemd units, no shortcuts. Storage runs on ZFS and LVM with CPU pinning and memory ballooning, backed up on a schedule via Proxmox Backup Server. Network side is locked down with VLANs, firewall rules, and SSH hardening on everything exposed.
PassItOn
A donation marketplace — the idea being it's easier to give things away than throw them out, so why not make that easy. Real-time chat between donor and recipient, JWT auth, and a REST API with 15+ endpoints handling listings and order flow. Tested end-to-end with 20 real users, from posting an item to actually handing it off.
