Featured Projects

Evidence, not buzzwords.

Adaptive, Privacy‑Preserving Continuous Background Verification

2025–2026 (in progress)

Multimodal on‑device trust fusion that protects active sessions against shoulder‑surfing, opportunistic misuse, and simple replay. Runs locally; no raw images leave the device.

  • Progressive safeguards: blur → action limits → WebAuthn step‑up
  • Signals: presence/match, liveness, short‑window behavior
  • Trust score with hysteresis; privacy‑first design
