## Core Technical Focus Areas

- **Local-First & Offline-First Systems:** Embedded SQLite databases, zero SaaS dependencies, transaction-derived folio accounting, and local hardware device integration (e.g., Stripe Terminal).
- **Multimodal LLM Pipelines & Information Retrieval:** Structured LLM extraction (Gemini API), BM25 lexical catalog search and pruning, bounded adjudication workflows for academic articulation matrices.
- **Hardware Reverse Engineering & Access Control:** 13.56 MHz RFID, MIFARE Classic memory decoding with Proxmark3, open CCID hardware reader replacements for proprietary lock ecosystems, MDB serial protocols on vending logic boards with ESP32.
- **Infrastructure & Systems:** Dual-node Proxmox VE cluster, ZFS mirrored storage pools, PBS automated backups, OPNsense WireGuard site-to-site routing, FreePBX VoIP SIP trunking.

## Detailed Engineering Notes & Case Studies

- [Hous: Designing an Offline-First Property Management System](https://miten.net/n/hous): Architectural breakdown of an offline-first PMS for commercial hospitality with embedded SQLite, transaction-derived folio accounting, in-process Chrome CDP PDF rasterization, and Stripe Terminal integration.
- [TransferTrak: Reverse-Engineering University Articulation Matrices with Multimodal LLMs](https://miten.net/n/transfertrak): AI-powered academic transcript evaluation engine sponsored by BeaconForge Solutions. Pairs Gemini document parsing with BM25 lexical catalog pruning and bounded adjudication for audit-grade credit transfer review.
- [eLox: Reverse-Engineering 13.56 MHz RFID Hospitality Locks](https://miten.net/n/elox): Technical audit of proprietary eLocks/Securelox hospitality systems. Reverse-engineers MIFARE Classic memory blocks using Proxmark3, analyzes time-based key invalidation, and replaces $800 proprietary encoders with standard CCID hardware.
