DK26 - Overview

🛡️ Security Platform Engineer | Rust & Python

I build security-by-design platforms and developer tools: safe primitives, guardrails, and reliable services that help teams ship faster without shipping incidents.

My work blends backend engineering, security engineering, and systems design — with open-source Rust projects focused on correctness and hard-to-misuse APIs.

💡 Focus

  • Security tooling & platforms (safe-by-default libraries, policy layers, automation)
  • Backend systems (performance, reliability, clean APIs)
  • SIEM/SOC automation & pipelines
  • Currently expanding: Kubernetes + observability + MCP servers

🔎 Where to start

Check the pinned repos for my core Rust security primitives and platform/tooling work.

🧭 Principles

  • Make powerful things feel simple
  • Explicit boundaries, small trusted cores
  • Clarity, maintainability, real-world impact

🧠 Journey

  • Started coding early (DOS/Pascal), later built small GUI tools (VB6)
  • Built a strong networking/IT foundation and moved into SIEM/SOC environments
  • Shipped and maintained automation + backend systems in Python over multiple years
  • Shifted toward Rust to build security-by-design primitives and developer tooling
  • Today: security tooling/platforms + SIEM automation, expanding cloud-native fundamentals

Pinned Loading

  1. Handle paths from external or unknown sources securely. Defends against 19+ real-world CVEs including symlinks, Windows 8.3 short names, and encoding tricks and exploits.

  2. Create file paths relative to your executable for truly portable Rust applications. Zero dependencies, cross-platform, simple API.

  3. CLI tool for rendering `Tera`, `Liquid` or `Handlebars` templates by using JSON files as context.

  4. Send dynamic and sophisticated E-mails using Smart Templates

  5. Path canonicalization that works with non-existing paths.

  6. Wraps an executable binary file inside a Python source file, to be used as a script in a closed system.
