I break systems on purpose so they cannot be broken by accident. Application security, firmware that runs in real time, and products shipped end-to-end — one stack, three disciplines.

EPISODE III — THE SECURITY OF THE REALM

A NEW THREAT

It is a period of digital war. Fraudulent invoices move through the accounts payable systems of a thousand worlds, draining treasuries before anyone notices the signature is wrong.

From a seed-stage outpost called APTOSI, a founding engineer builds the countermeasures — static analysis that halts a corrupted pull request before it merges, authenticated scans that surface injection flaws before an adversary does.

Meanwhile, on the training worlds of SENECA POLYTECHNIC, he writes firmware that must answer in microseconds, and teaches neural networks to see what human reviewers miss.

Pursued by deadlines and compliance labs alike, he continues his work — because the perimeter only holds if someone keeps testing it...

PERSONNEL DOSSIER

FILE // JHA_R● LIVE

Third-year Software Engineering student at Seneca Polytechnic in Toronto, and a founding engineer at Aptosi — a seed-stage fintech fighting invoice fraud and verifying vendors.

My work sits where three disciplines overlap: application security (CASA Tier II assessments, authenticated DAST, SAST wired into CI so critical findings block the merge), embedded systems (FreeRTOS on NXP Kinetis, DMA-fed audio pipelines, sensor buses that cannot drop a sample), and full-stack product work (SvelteKit, TypeScript, Python, Firebase).

Originally from Himmatnagar, Gujarat. Currently operating out of North York, Toronto. Graduating 2027 and looking for the next system worth hardening.

MISSION LOG

MSN-318 CRITICAL

OPERATION: CASA TIER II

Google Cloud security assessment · Aptosi

Drove Aptosi through Google's CASA Tier II compliance assessment end to end. Ran authenticated OWASP ZAP scans against production surfaces and surfaced HIGH-severity server-side template injection and SQL injection, plus a PII disclosure path. Wrote the formal assessment reports, coordinated with the external lab, and tracked every finding to remediation.

THE BLOCKADE

Automated SAST gate · 4 repositories

Wired Votal.ai static analysis into a GitHub Actions pipeline across all four Aptosi repositories. Critical findings now block the pull request rather than landing in a dashboard nobody reads — security moved from a quarterly audit to a merge-time contract.

  • SAST
  • CI/CD
  • Policy as Code

TRADE FEDERATION LINK

QuickBooks Online integration · OAuth 2.0

Built and hardened Aptosi's Intuit/QuickBooks Online integration — OAuth 2.0 authorization flows, launch and disconnect URLs, webhook subscriptions, and the migration onto Intuit's CloudEvents payload format. Accounts-payable data crossing a trust boundary, safely.

CYRAVENT

AI-powered enterprise security platform

A multi-tenant security intelligence SaaS built milestone by milestone from a full engineering spec: Next.js + TypeScript front end, FastAPI + PostgreSQL + Redis backend, a provider-agnostic AI service layer, Docker throughout. Strictly defensive, with RBAC, audit logging, and tenant-isolation tests as first-class requirements.

REAL-TIME ACQUISITION

FRDM-K66F · FreeRTOS · bare-metal timing

Real-time data acquisition on NXP Kinetis hardware: ADC sampling under FreeRTOS with DMA-fed ring buffers, I2S/SAI audio output, and time-of-flight plus gyroscope sensors on I2C. The kind of code where a missed deadline is not a warning — it is a wrong answer.

SEEING MACHINES

CNNs · transfer learning · attention

Computer-vision work built on VGG16 transfer learning with CBAM attention blocks, alongside recurrent models and reinforcement-learning experiments. The half of my stack that guesses, sitting next to the half that must never guess.
