|
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](/contact) if you want to see my resume or learn more about my
|
|
work.

I'm the author [zona] (a static site generator), [Ashen] (a color scheme),
|

## Education
|
|
|
|
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.
