Student exploring system security, privacy & Linux-based platforms

Student focused on understanding how operating systems, privacy mechanisms and isolation models work in practice.
I learn by building home labs, experimenting with system-level protections, and developing small but real products.

Currently exploring how security principles can be applied to Linux systems and local AI workloads.

• Build home labs to experiment with system isolation, encryption and privacy concepts
• Run local LLM models with focus on sandboxing, access control and resource isolation
• Research OS-level security ideas inspired by GrapheneOS and hardened Linux systems
• Teach people how to install, flash and customize operating systems
• Build practical products while learning (SaaS, system tooling)

• Operating systems & low-level system behavior
• Privacy-focused system and platform design
• Linux hardening, isolation and customization
• Secure software architecture (learning phase)
• Applied cryptography fundamentals

Operating Systems
Linux (Arch, Ubuntu)

System Concepts
Virtualization, isolation, permissions, sandboxing (learning & experimentation)

Programming & Scripting
Python (basic), Bash (basic), Git

Product & Architecture
SaaS structure, authentication flows, subscription & payment logic (concept-level)

Approach
Learning by building • Documentation-first • Honest skill representation

Experiments with running LLMs locally while exploring:

• process isolation
• access control
• protection concepts for local AI workloads

Focus: understanding limitations and risks, not claiming production security.

Student-oriented platform that matches universities based on:

• SAT / IELTS scores
• extracurricular activities

Includes:

• demo authentication system
• subscription & payment projection
• product-oriented architecture thinking

Practical guides and notes on:

• installing Linux-based systems
• flashing and configuring OS environments
• customization for performance and usability

Used for teaching and helping others get started.

• Cisco CCST (in progress)
• Linux internals & system fundamentals
• Cryptography basics (self-study)
