}A collection of my recent work and experiments
A versatile collection of Python scripts for security analysis, reconnaissance, and educational purposes. Features domain analysis (DNS, WHOIS, MX lookups), threat intelligence via VirusTotal API, file integrity checksums, password strength analysis, and an interactive network port quiz. Built with clean, readable code for practical cybersecurity tasks.
A comprehensive host-based intrusion detection system (HIDS) for monitoring file system changes and ensuring system integrity. Built with object-oriented Python, featuring SQLite database storage for baselines, SHA256/SHA1/MD5 hash verification, and multi-format reporting (Console, JSON, HTML). Includes modular architecture, configuration-driven design, comprehensive logging, and full test coverage. Detects file modifications, additions, and deletions for security monitoring and compliance auditing.
Python automation tool that fully automates weekly financial reporting by integrating Lightspeed POS and QuickBooks APIs. The system extracts financial data from both platforms, performs data reconciliation and manipulation, and generates formatted Excel reports. Reduced manual work by 96%, cutting processing time from 2 hours to under 5 minutes. Features robust error handling, automated email delivery, and comprehensive data validation.

Technical insights, project deep-dives, and learnings from cybersecurity, data analysis, and automation
As web developers and content creators, we often find ourselves repeating mundane tasks. While the initial setup of a website might be exciting, the ongoing maintenance, especially for dynamic content like a blog, can quickly become a time sink. Today, I'm delving into a fascinating journey of how I tackled this challenge head-on, transforming my manual, error-prone blog management system into an elegant, automated solution.
