Hi, I'm Aaron! 👋🏾

Full-Stack Engineer | Cyber Security Analyst & Pentester | Open Source Leader

I bridge the gap between robust software engineering and proactive security. I build high-performance, secure-by-design applications and am passionate about fostering the next generation of technical talent in Africa.

🏗️ What I’m Working On

  • bVault-js: A lightweight, secure JavaScript utility for handling sensitive data storage and vaulting logic. Focused on privacy-first browser and node environments.
  • Vedtrace: a simplified, developer-first observability tool designed to strip away the configuration overhead of platforms like Sentry or Datadog. Vedtrace focuses on high-signal log management and error tracking, allowing developers to identify and resolve issues instantly without writing complex dashboard queries or managing heavy instrumentation. It’s built for teams and indie devs who want deep visibility into their code’s behavior with zero friction. (Currently in private development).
  • OSSAfrica: Co-Founder and SIG (Special Interest Group) Lead. We are a growing global community focused on Open Source and Security in Africa, driving collaborative innovation and security awareness across the continent.

💎 Core Strengths & Expertise

  • Cyber Security & Pentesting: Experienced in vulnerability assessment and penetration testing (VAPT). I apply a "Red Team" mindset to everything I build to ensure production code is hardened against modern exploits.
  • Secure Full-Stack Architecture: Expert in building scalable systems using the MERN/PERN stack, with a heavy emphasis on secure authentication and data encryption.
  • Open Source Leadership: Proven ability to lead communities, manage SIGs, and coordinate large-scale collaborative projects.
  • Mobile Development: Crafting secure, native-feel mobile experiences for iOS and Android.
