Open source contributions and security engineering work

uutils/coreutils

Core Contributor & Systems Engineer

Jan 2026 – Present

Cross-platform Rust rewrite of GNU coreutils.

  • -Identified and patched critical TOCTOU race conditions in file traversal logic by implementing openat and O_NOFOLLOW POSIX bindings.
  • -Contributed memory-safe file handling across disparate Unix environments.
  • -Multiple PRs (#9792, #10140) directly reviewed and merged by project lead Sylvestre Ledru.

Argus

Creator — File Integrity Monitor

Dec 2024

High-performance Rust security tool for real-time file integrity monitoring.

  • -Engineered a multi-threaded FIM capable of processing 10,000+ files/second using async I/O and recursive scanning.
  • -Implemented SHA256 hashing for real-time change detection, core functionality used in enterprise HIDS.
  • -Leveraged Rust's ownership model to manage safe concurrency without data races.

LAO

Creator — Local AI Orchestrator

Late 2025

Rust-based orchestrator for local LLM workflows with on-device inference.

  • -Engineered a high-performance orchestrator for local LLM workflows (Ollama, Whisper.cpp), processing sensitive inference entirely on-device.
  • -Built a memory-safe plugin system for CLI and visual workflow creation without exposing the host to external API vulnerabilities.

Doppel

Creator — API Security Scanner

Late 2025

Real-time API security detector for insecure endpoints and vulnerability scanning.

  • -Built a real-time API security detector to flag insecure endpoints, exposing potential data leaks and unauthorized access points.
  • -Designed automated alerts for common OWASP API vulnerabilities, reducing potential attack surfaces.

Sigil

Creator — AI Training Detection

Late 2025

Cryptographic image watermarking tool for detecting unauthorized AI model training.

  • -Built a defensive tool embedding cryptographic signatures into images using radioactive data marking techniques.
  • -Implemented PGD robustness mode for signature survival through compression, resizing, and augmentation.
  • -Supports batch processing, video protection, and configurable perturbation strength.
