Selected work

What each project does, and what it's built with.

Security, deep learning

AI-powered web application firewall

Catches zero-day and anomalous web requests that rule-based firewalls let through.

A DeBERTa-v3 transformer scores each request in real time. It runs as an Nginx sidecar, so existing services stay untouched, and the model updates incrementally as traffic changes.

Identity verification for SMEs

KYCrypt AI

Lets small businesses verify customer identity and flag fraud without an enterprise KYC budget.

OCR and computer vision read and check ID documents, every step is AES-encrypted end to end, and a blockchain audit trail records each verification so it can't be quietly altered.

Medibites
