I’m a cybersecurity and DevOps engineer passionate about building AI-powered monitoring and threat intelligence solutions. I love combining self-learning anomaly detection, secure system design, and user-friendly dashboards to help teams defend their networks.
- 🔭 Currently developing ShaydZ Super Monitor projects
- 🌱 Exploring cloud-native security, container orchestration, and AI integrations
- 💬 Ask me about Python, AI, Linux security, Raspberry Pi integrations, and network defense
- ⚡ Fun fact: I enjoy hiking, photography, and experimenting with e-paper displays
A production-ready AI-powered network defense and threat intelligence dashboard optimized for Raspberry Pi and Linux.
- Local & Cloud AI anomaly detection
- Real-time threat feeds (CISA, CVE, Reddit, OTX)
- Secure web UI with session management and UFW/Fail2ban integration
- E-paper display support for instant alerts

- Our code reviews happen in “purple prose” — we only comment in hex
#663399. - Coffee is overrated; our purple tea fuels the midnight threat hunts.
- We don’t do “dark mode”—we’re permanently in ULTRA DARK PURPLE MODE.
- If you can’t handle the purple, you’re not ready for Team Dark Purple.
- Legend says a bug turned purple on sight of our CI pipeline—and it never dared return.
