Hi I'm Mike!
I am currently a working for L3Harris Technologies Spectrum Superiority division on embedded devices and cryptographic systems.
Before that, I graduated with a double major in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering. I like to develop embedded applications and learn new technologies, which has lead to my involvement in Utah's Premiere Cyber Security Conference, SAINTCON. My first year at the conference my team was awarded for our efforts to modify every attendees electronic badge. Since then, I have helped at various levels in running the conference. My work with embedded device hacking led me to create my Tron Badge to combine a super useful tool with a lab to hack, all presented with an artistic circuit board.
For years I helped with the official electronic badge at SAINTCON. As part of the "art first" design, I took on maintenance of Svg2Mod which is a tool to convert complex SVG files into modules which can be loaded directly into KiCAD.
For the past couple years I have been running the RFID/NFC Hacking Community where we teach participants, using a proxmark or flipper zero, how to defeat different access control systems and learn protocols and vulnerabilities in NFC protocols/devices.
Recently, I have been working on updating a project I found that runs a full 3D printing slicer in the web browser. However, this project doesn't support
mobile devices. It has been my goal to re-write the software to add mobile
support so I can print from my phone. You can check out the docker Slicer project on GitHub.
