Cybersecurity attacks using Deno
07/12/2022
When I'm sharing what I learn about cybersecurity in open-source, a reaction I've seen people have is to mention Deno as a tool that will fix the problem. The risk of supply-chain attacks still exist and I wrote this post to show how it can be done.

I used Vultr recently and struggled to create a reverse shell so this post is gathering the steps that worked
Demystifying machine learning via Bluetooth with arduino
31/10/2022
The first time I experimented with TensorFlow.js for micro-controllers, I got really excited about the fact that a machine learning model was transferred via bluetooth to my Arduino. In this post, I am going to explain how it works.
Gesture-based payments

Recently, I've been experimenting with gesture control and researched how this technology could be used as a payment method.
Building an aircraft radar system in JavaScript
29/08/2022
A few years ago, I came across an awesome talk by Thomas Watson in which he talks about how he built AirplaneJS, a web app that picks up ADS-B radio signals from airplanes and plots them in real time on a map in the browser. I had no idea this was possible in JavaScript so I started looking into it.
