I am a Senior Member of XDA Developers, where I have worked on Android ROM development and system-level projects. My AstroROM project has reached 200K+ users worldwide, with a growing community around it.

Hydra-ESP, my ESP32-based security research project, has gained strong recognition in the ESP32 community, with 80K+ real-time YouTube views across my channel. The project continues to attract users because of its wide range of features and practical security research capabilities. Furthermore, I wrote a full research paper based on it.

I also run the Android Ports Cloud (APC) community, which has grown to 8K+ members worldwide and serves as a community hub for Android porting and development.

In addition, I built a dedicated EWU Portal app for East West University students. It received a strong response from students on its first day and has now crossed 500+ users.

I contributed to and worked extensively with Hackintosh projects, helping users who could not afford a Mac experience a full macOS setup on affordable Windows laptops. We worked to achieve stable support across the system, with most hardware features working properly and performance that could make a low-cost laptop feel surprisingly close to a real Mac for everyday use.

ProjectAstro is an automated shell based system designed to turn a process that could take around 3 hours into a workflow that can be completed in minutes. It automates repetitive work so developers can spend more time on actual development instead of doing the same tasks manually.

AppsPorter is a tool designed to make OEM application porting easier across different Android devices. Instead of manually repeating the same work for every device and manufacturer, AppsPorter automates and simplifies the process.
