Shaping the future instead of inheriting it.
I’m a Computer Science student at the University of Maryland (University Honors) and an aspiring cybersecurity professional. My journey blends experimental systems design, security research, full-stack development — from building AWS “fake internet” labs and penetration testing tools to community platforms and research projects.
I learn quickly, adapt easily, and build with impact in mind.
- Experimental Research: Neural Agents Simulation (coming soon)
- Cyber Range Research: AWS Fake Internet Project (coming soon)
- Community Impact: Tsinat.org
- Cybersecurity Projects: SafeHub (Bitcamp 2025 Project), MailMan
- Data & Infra: PacketToCsv, Urbex Database
Lightweight agents. Emergent behavior. Self-organizing pathways.
Built a simulation where small “neurobits” navigate mazes using simple rules, XOR-based mutation, and pattern matching. Focus areas:
- emergent swarm behavior
- lightweight learning without neural nets
- mutation-driven adaptation
- real-time visualization (Pygame)

Four subnet domains. Realistic attack paths. Full observability.
Designed a multi-subnet AWS VPC to simulate real-world network environments (café WiFi, enterprise, malicious infra, university). Used it to run controlled experiments in:
- adversarial scanning + lateral movement
- network segmentation + routing behavior
- packet analysis + SIEM log aggregation
- isolated malware-style behavior

- Tsinat.org — WordPress platform supporting cultural broker services, education, and disability advocacy.
- Holywearhouse.com — E-commerce site for christian clothing shop. Managing 50+ products, ~150 monthly visitors, and 20–30 monthly orders.
- 2022 MathQuantum Fellowship Page — MathQuantum Research (quantum computing research + notes).
- SafeHub — Security awareness toolkit (Django + Python) — built at Bitcamp 2025.
- MailMan — Gmail + AI inbox assistant (Next.js, FastAPI).
- PacketToCsv — Network packet logging to CSV.
- UrbexDB — Abandoned spaces database + route planning.
I grow best by working with others. Current collabs include:
- Holy Wearhouse Startup — Worked with a startup to develop a reverse image search capability for an e-commerce store that works by managing a vector database.
- Tsinat Institute — Assisted in development and currently maintain organization's web page at tsinat.org. Hosts 100+ registered users in the local Ethiopian & Eritrean community.
- Hackathons — Worked with a team on Bitcamp 2025 (SafeHub, CyberSafe).
