Open Source Work

🧠 Agentic AI-Driven Video/Audio/Images (Screenshots/Slides/...) to Learning Book PDF

Privacy-safe, multi-modal agentic AI pipeline — zero 3rd-party data exposure by design. Whisper + Tesseract + LangChain + Ollama → publication-ready PDF. Private inference model validated in production: $120K+ annual OpEx savings, 80% cost reduction. Python LangChain Ollama Whisper Tesseract Pandoc/XeLaTeX

📡 Zero-Trust Multi-Tenant Distributed Document Search Engine

Zero-Trust, multi-tenant distributed document search engine. Tenant isolation at API boundary · Redis rate limiting · Kafka/Karafka async indexing · Weaviate vector search (sub-500ms) · circuit breaker fallback · Kamal zero-downtime deployments. Mirrors production patterns proven at 5M+ TPM. Rails 8 Weaviate Kafka Redis Sidekiq Docker

🕷️ Web Scraping Vulnerability

Security research — real-world web scraping attack vectors and defensive countermeasures. White-hat demonstration of threat surfaces in production SaaS environments.

🛡️ Security Philosophy

Zero-Trust         → Never verify once. Verify always.
Zero-Standing      → No standing privileges. JIT. Audited. Expired.
Zero-Vulnerability → Threat model first. Code second.
Zero-Secret        → No hardcoded credentials. Vault-rotated. Always.
Zero-Exposure      → Private inference. No 3rd-party data leakage.
Zero-Touch         → Automated pipelines. No human in the deployment path.
Zero-Downtime      → Blue-green. Always.
Zero-Dependency    → No supply chain surprises. Audited. Pinned. Scanned.
Zero-Drift         → Infrastructure as code. Config is truth. Always.
Zero-Admin         → No standing admin access. JIT. Audited. Expired.
