|
|
|
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.

## 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.
|
|
|
|
## Things I use
|
|
|
|
I use [Kakoune] as my text editor, and I type in
|
|
[Colemak-DH](https://colemakmods.github.io/mod-dh/) on a
|
|
[custom layout](https://git.ficd.sh/ficd/zmk). I run Arch Linux on a desktop PC
|
|
and ThinkPad, my preferred terminal is Foot, and I enjoy Niri as a window
|
|
manager.

|
using [zona]. I'm working on a post describing my process for building it ---
