ThreatCube

Started working on a threat intelligence project named ThreatCube with Umair. Can't talk much about it for now.

ThinkPad E14 Synaptics driver port

My second ever reverse-engineering/port. This one was a bit more difficult than I expected, so I left it alone. A lot of people starred it and were willing to fund it though. If you’d like to contribute, contact me or fork the project.

Wristkey

Wrote a completely standalone two-factor authentication app for Android Wear / Wear OS. Google pulled their Authenticator out of the Wear Play Store and I needed an offline 2FA authenticator because my G Watch W100 doesn’t have WiFi. Released it on GitHub to help others in my situation.

Gained unexpected popularity and got mentioned on Reddit a bit.

openTransmit

Wrote FTPSetup for Android and openTransmit for iOS, two utilities to make data transfers between mobile devices and Linux more seamless.

Polytechnic

Graduated from Polytechnic school and got my Polytechnic diploma after failing 4 semesters.
