WHO IS
BLACKPAW
Offensive security operator and toolsmith. I build things that break other things — then write about how they worked.
Windows internals mods (Windhawk), web tools, RF sensing platforms, and autonomous infra. Self-taught, production-depth, solo.
Dark aesthetics, clean interactions, and tools that actually do something. If it runs smooth and has teeth — that's the goal.

TIMELINE
Windows Internals Modding
Authored AudioSwap, MicSwitch, Net-Toggle, and MicroManager — C++ system mods using COM, Raw Input, and Win32 hooks. PRs merged to ramensoftware/windhawk-mods.
Through-Wall RF Sensing
Built a full ESP32-to-Rust-DSP-to-ML pipeline for presence detection, vital signs, and 17-keypoint pose estimation through walls. 55 C files of firmware, 47-crate Rust workspace at 18 µs per sample.
Web Products & Monetization
Launched Alternify (5,000+ alternatives directory, AdSense + Ezoic monetized) and developed WiseLove — a premium dating app with slow-reveal mechanics, merit-only discovery, and in-chat microtransactions.
Hand-Tracking Game Dev
5,722-line browser game using MediaPipe Hands and Canvas API. Utility AI enemies, particle VFX, XP/leveling system. Refactoring towards module-based architecture.
Reinforcement Learning
Trained a custom 4-legged robot from scratch using PPO via Stable-Baselines3. Four-stage curriculum with procedurally generated worlds. Documented reward-hacking exploits and entropy collapse.
Security Research Lab
Built an ARM64 mining cluster (GhostNAS), deployed Pwnagotchi on RPi 5 for WPA2 handshake capture, and runs Wazuh SIEM inside an Android Linux chroot on a rooted Galaxy A30.
