Project Description:

The Academic Timeline Project is currently on version 6. It started as a personal challenge — I wanted to learn a coding language but wasn't sure where to begin. After consulting AI for platform recommendations, I was pointed toward CodePen.io, which turned out to be a perfect fit. As someone who isn't a traditional coding student but still wanted to build real skills, CodePen gave me a low-barrier environment to experiment and grow.

The concept behind the project is straightforward: every time I hit a new academic milestone, I add a new entry to the timeline. The project grows as I grow.

The Academic Timeline Project is also designed to be a living template. Anyone can fork it, edit it, and use it to document their own learning journey or showcase progress on a student profile.

Project Description:

The RakGnarRack is a 6-node distributed network security monitoring cluster built entirely from refurbished Intel NUC mini-PCs, housed in custom modular enclosures designed and 3D-printed from scratch. Running Security Onion across a mix of Manager, Search, and Forward nodes, the cluster delivers real SOC-grade visibility — live packet capture, intrusion detection via Suricata, network flow analysis via Zeek, and full PCAP retention, all on a student budget.

The RakGnarRack is the hardware backbone of the AEGIS Project. Each node in the cluster serves as a dedicated plugin tower, exposing live sensor APIs that feed directly into the AEGIS MCP server — giving Claude the ability to query real security data in natural language from anywhere in the world.

Project Description:

The Unicorn Rack Project is a hardware architecture initiative focused on designing and 3D-printing custom server rack prototypes capable of housing fully stacked lab infrastructure using affordable legacy hardware. The project was born from the challenge of building enterprise-grade security lab environments without enterprise-grade budgets — democratizing access to professional security tooling for students, hobbyists, and small organizations. 

Custom rack designs are optimized for airflow, cable management, modularity, and hardware compatibility across a wide range of repurposed devices. The Unicorn Rack serves as the physical housing for SO_RAGNAROK, the AI chassis, and other lab components — turning a collection of mismatched hardware into a cohesive, professional-grade deployment. All designs are documented and shared through ECHOClub to help other students build their own affordable lab environments.

Project Name:

AEGIS — Agentic Environment for Generalized Intelligence & Security

Project Description:

AEGIS is an AI-accessible security monitoring platform built for the ECHO Club at Front Range Community College in Fort Collins, CO. It connects a dedicated wireless sensor node running Kismet to an MCP server that Claude can query in natural language — asking things like "what devices are visible right now?" or "show me the latest Suricata alerts" from anywhere in the world.

The platform is built on a plugin registry architecture where each data source — Kismet RF, Suricata IDS, Zeek connection logs, and Kibana dashboards — is a self-contained Python file. Adding a new data source means dropping one file into a folder. No rewiring the core system.

Project Description:

CODE Blaster is a collection of creative ASCII art designs built for the Windows Command Prompt. Using layered line combinations, each piece is crafted to produce visually striking output directly in your terminal — simple to run, satisfying to look at.

The project is designed to be a starting point. Pick a design, customize it, and make your own ASCII art prompt signature. No special software required — just a terminal and a little creativity.
