Check out my latest work

I've worked on a variety of projects, from simple websites to complex web applications. Here are a few of my favorites.

BreachDirectory.org

BreachDirectory.org

Created BreachDirectory to allow users to check if their emails, usernames, or passwords have been leaked in data breaches. Built frontend using Next.js and API using FastAPI to deliver seamless user experience and robust backend functionality. Developed AI in Python to continuously identify new data breaches and update database, trained on dataset obtained through web scraping and parsing known breaches. Gained experience in MLOps and DevOps through orchestration of AI pipeline and API using Kubernetes. Built SQL database containing over 20 billion entries, with RESTful developer API for integration into other applications. Received frequent requests from organizations for API keys due to unique functionality and popularity of service. API distributed in cybersecurity and privacy-focused operating systems like Kali Linux and Parrot OS, used by prominent organizations including NCPTF, Union Pacific, and Hewlett Packard. Data aggregated by BreachDirectory used in other sites, such as Ge.tt data breach used in HaveIBeenPwned. Generated revenue from corporate API sales, and approximately 5.7 million unique monthly visitors.
