About
I work on automotive security from the physical layer upward.
The work usually starts where clean documentation ends — opening ECUs, tracing circuits, identifying CAN lines, extracting firmware, analyzing RF/LF behavior, building test equipment, and turning uncertain hardware behavior into repeatable security testcases.
I have worked across vehicle controllers, black box systems, HSM validation, Tesla demonstration environments, RF/UWB attack methodology, and custom LF relay equipment. The common thread is simple: understand the system deeply enough to make the attack path real.
What I Work On
Selected Work
CAN, RF, LF, PCB analysis, firmware extraction, and hardware testcase design for real vehicle security assessments.
Built the hardware and embedded layer for a Tesla security demonstration environment.
Designed and built dedicated LF relay equipment when existing tools were unstable or impractical.
Structured RF attack experience into reusable methodology and testcases for vehicle external access systems.
Hands-on hardware work for fault injection setup, board repair, signal access, and debugging.
