Development

What I'm learning, what I'm building next, and how I got here.

◆Right Now

Personal AI

Main project. Self-editing AI assistant built from scratch — Node, Rust, Tauri, local models. No frameworks, no recurring costs.

Building Now

Svart Security

Security research, network hardening, and privacy tooling under @SvartSecurity.

In Development

This Site

Custom auth system with Cloudflare Workers, disposable codes, role-based access. All hand-written.

◆How I Learn

Build First, Read Later

I don't do courses or tutorials much. I pick a problem, start building, and figure it out as I go. Most of what I know about networking, security, and low-level systems came from breaking things and fixing them.

If something needs Rust, I write Rust. If it needs a Cloudflare Worker, I learn Workers. The project drives what I learn.

Stack I'm Going Deeper On

  • Rust — Tauri backends, systems programming, performance-critical code
  • AI / ML — Local inference with Ollama, model fine-tuning, agent systems
  • Cloudflare — Workers, KV, Email Routing, Pages — replacing traditional backend
  • Network Security — DNS encryption, MAC randomization, traffic analysis

◆How I Got Here

The Path

Started with hardware — Building PCs, swapping parts, figuring out what breaks and why
Got into networking — Home labs, routers, DNS, firewalls, VPNs
Picked up coding — HTML/CSS first, then JavaScript, then Node.js and backend
Found security — Pentesting concepts, network hardening, privacy-first thinking
Started Svart Security — Turned security research into something real
Built Personal AI — Combined everything into one self-editing, local-first AI assistant
