My name is Daniel, and I am a programmer, Linux enthusiast, and graduate student of cybersecurity. My research interest is authentication, and I like programming in Python and POSIX shell. I spend my free time writing code, tinkering, and contributing to open-source projects. Feel free to contact me if you want to see my resume or learn more about my work.
I completed a Bachelor’s of Computing (Honours) at Queen’s University in 2024, and I’m currently in the Master’s of Science program at the School of Computing. As part of the NSERC CREATE Cybersecurity program, my work combines programming, cryptography, system design, and threat modeling to tackle real-world security challenges. I’m currently working on my thesis, which introduces a novel method of detecting signal relay attacks in the context of multi-factor authentication.
I use Kakoune as my text editor, and I type in Colemak-DH on a custom layout. I run Arch Linux on a desktop PC and ThinkPad, my preferred terminal is Foot, and I’ve been enjoying Niri as a window manager.
I’m passionate about minimalist technology. This website is part of the 1mb club, JavaScript free, and built with zona, a tool I wrote myself.
