> Building an AI-powered red team framework.

I'm a second-year Cybersecurity BSc student at ARU Cambridge, and I'd been coding for years before that. I run my university's Hack The Box team, and in my own time I'm building an AI-powered penetration testing framework. What I really care about is offensive security and shipping things people actually use. Right now I'm building out MotorLog, a DVLA-powered app that's already live on the web, with a Kotlin Android build on the way.

Flagship project

Personal / Open Source

A modular red team framework with a local-LLM brain (Ollama) that handles reconnaissance, vulnerability correlation, and reporting on its own. I built it to grow into a polyglot system that covers the full attack surface.

  • Python Orchestration + LLM layer building
  • Go High-performance network scanning planned
  • Rust Binary analysis planned
  • JavaScript Web vulnerability assessment planned

Other projects

EPQ Independent Research Project

A full-stack app built on the government DVLA API that tells you before your MOT, tax, or insurance runs out. It started as my EPQ and grew into a real, live product.

★ Live at motorlog.app. Won the Old Palmerians' Association Prize for independent research.

MotorLog Android App

2025 to now

Kotlin / Mobile · private repo

The native Android build of MotorLog. It's a Kotlin mobile client that pulls MOT, tax, and insurance status straight from the DVLA API and reminds you before anything lapses.

★ This is where I learned native Android: the app lifecycle, local persistence, and wiring a mobile client up to a live REST backend. (Private repo.)

Open Source Contribution

A mobile companion for a self-hosted AI assistant. Pair your phone over QR and control it from anywhere: chat, attachments, voice dictation, email, calendar, notes, and tasks.

★ Built on top of the open-source Odysseus project, where I added the whole mobile companion layer.

Learning Project

Building neural-network language models from the ground up: the embeddings, backprop, and attention that sit behind modern transformers. This is where my AI/ML skills actually come from.

Independent Research

A custom server-side IP logging and geolocation system I built to get a real feel for network-layer threat intelligence and the attribution techniques used in offensive work.
