NAOMI - Facial Expression Software

An advanced AI platform designed to detect and analyze micro-expressions — tiny, fleeting facial movements that often reveal hidden emotions like stress, deception, or confidence. Neural Analysis Of Micro-Intent in real-time micro-expressions → inferred intent.

STELLARIS — OSINT NLP Engine

From noisy text to interactive knowledge graphs with provenance-first extraction.

COSMOS — Cyber Threat Dashboard

Behavioral baselines, TTP clustering, and audit-ready incident workflows in one pane.

VAULT — End-to-End Encrypted Storage

Client-side keys, ciphertext-only sync, and tamper-evident sharing with recovery that stays private.

NOTES — Zero-Knowledge Notes

Offline-first writing with CRDT/OT sync and on-device encryption by default.

Portfolio & Research Hub

My personal website for exploring my portfolio, stories about me & my interests, along with the curation of my blog page; Midnight Bureau where I dive into topics I'm most interested in & real time Intelligence analysis!

Research & Analysis Projects

Behavioral AI for Threat Detection

Probabilistic micro expression cues that support human risk assessment; carefully measured and calibrated, never presented as certainty.

Open-Source Intelligence Methodologies

Intake, de-duplication, verification, and fusion with provenance and reproducible workflows—practical OSINT at scale.

Analytical Writing & Publications

AI Ethics in National Security

Operational guardrails for high-stakes AI: mission fit, accountability, auditability, and clear lines of responsibility.

The Rise of Behavioral Surveillance

How behavioral sensing turns signals into power, what can go wrong, and the civil liberties guardrails that keep it honest.

Current & In-Progress Work

<>

Midnight Bureau Blog Expansion

Smarter discovery, faster archives, and cleaner long reads. Adding topic and entity filters, cross search with the portfolio, and a print friendly mode for deep dives.

Real-time Facial Recognition Prototype

Low latency video with explicit policy gates, opt in testing, and hard limits. Focus on evaluation, latency budgets, consent flows, and repeatable audits before any pilot.

OSINT Data Aggregation Pipeline

High throughput intake with dedupe, provenance tracking, and PII safety. Next steps include source scoring, alert thresholds, and reproducible exports that analysts can defend.

Skills & Technologies (Non-clickable)

<>

Python

My go-to for prototyping, data tooling, and small services. Comfortable with pandas, FastAPI, asyncio, and testing to keep things repeatable.

JavaScript (React, Node.js)

Builds frontends in React/Next.js and lightweight APIs in Node. Focus on clean state, accessible UI, and SSR where it improves UX.

Docker & Kubernetes

Containerize apps for reliable dev/prod parity. Compose for local; Helm and basic K8s objects for staging/production deploys.

AWS Cloud Services

Hands-on with EC2, S3, CloudFront, IAM, and CloudWatch. Bias toward simple architectures with clear cost/observability tradeoffs.

TensorFlow & PyTorch

Train/evaluate small models and fine-tunes; track metrics and calibration, keep data/labels organized, and document failure modes.

Natural Language Processing (NLP)

Text classification, NER, and retrieval pipelines using spaCy/HuggingFace. Emphasis on data quality, baselines, and error analysis.

Computer Vision & OpenCV

Real-time preprocessing, detection/tracking, and landmarks. Careful about latency budgets, lighting variance, and dataset bias.

Cybersecurity & Ethical Hacking

Threat modeling, secure defaults, and hands-on recon/appsec basics. Aim is resilient systems and clear audit trails—not theatrics.

SQL & NoSQL Databases

Design schemas, write explainable queries, and index what matters. Postgres for consistency, Mongo when flexible docs win.

Git & CI/CD Pipelines

Branch strategy, code review discipline, and pipelines that run tests/lints before deploy. Shipping small and often.
