Projects
Home Lab
Sept 2021 - Present
I've built my homelab over the years. Now it runs on dedicated consumer hardware, hosting multiple services for myself and friends:
- Movies/shows (Jellyfin, *arr stack)
- Cloud-like file storage
- Code repositories
- Video game servers
- Personal automations
- Other shenanigans
Best investment I've ever made was 128 GB of ECC RAM in November 2024 (before the prices jumped).

March 16, 2024
Snowfort 2024 was a defensive cybersecurity competition where 35 teams across the globe were given five services with five vulnerabilities each.
An attack bot actively exploited each service. The teams were tasked with fixing the vulnerabilities while preserving normal user functions.
Infrastructure was hosted using (mostly) Google trial credits and was deployed using Terraform, hope, and a bit of duct tape. Teams were given VPN configs to connect to their environment, and SSH keys to connect to their virtual machines.
Services were custom written web applications with various functions.
An attack bot dedicated to each team would launch malicious and benign requests every minute (game tick). Teams gained points for blocking malicious requests while properly preserving benign requests.

A project focused on improving Canada’s cybersecurity posture through engaging and competitive challenges. We help host cybersecurity competitions by designing challenges, implementing software-based scoring engines, and setting up related infrastructure.
I wear many hats at CyberScoring:
- I am the lead developer for our Windows/Linux security scoring engine.
- I coordinate with organizations to host competitions.
- I design challenges for our competitions.
- And I help wherever help is needed.
