Shipped outcomes — audit, don’t assert
Achievements are framed as proprietary compression, native decoding, enterprise security, cross-platform, hardware integration — with evidence, not slogans. No unverified “firsts”. Each achievement maps to repos listed in the investor pack (§2–§3) and can be diligenced.
Strangler migration as curriculum
PlanMyBenefits: single-handed net10 build from EOL monolith, then 6–18h migration modules + 15 parity/gap tables that turn a rescue into a teachable capability for the client team.
Owned decoder lineage (barcodes + RFID)
SADL/NAMDL RSA 128/74-block + versioned KeySets through Unicorn emulation to MAUI SDK; Transnet 128-bit AEI with 10 equipment groups — from opaque DLLs to bit-accurate owned implementations.
Field-deployable biometric terminals
RDT ESP32-S2 + net8 single-file tooling + xUnit tests + 16KB memory RCA (streaming fix, chunked print, yield/vTaskDelay) — offline SPIFFS ACL when cloud is absent.
Sovereign zero-trust mesh at product scale
OmniTrust/OmniLock: 40+ csproj, OpenIddict 7.4, Go/eBPF, FIDO2, 150+ MDM policies, 10 FPS remote-control bypassing Blazor circuit — red-team audited, whitepaper-backed.
Corridor enterprise + MDM lockdown
CTMS/TTTFP for SADC corridor — WCF+Blazor coexistence, Kiosk_Guide v1.1, per-event email builders, APK enterprise deployment under constrained connectivity.
Hardware-software co-design for African realities
OmniGrid HEMS and yard hardware: ESP32-C3/NOW→MQTT→SQLite edge, Modbus BMS maps, buck/ACS712 sizing, epoxy-potted nodes, TV-box hubs — survives load-shedding.
Cross-cutting technical wins
SADL/NAMDL RSA + Transnet AEI bit-accurate decoders owned from decompiled DLLs — vendor-free.
MAUI 8/9 + Kotlin/Compose + WinForms single-file + ESP32-S2/C3 from one codebase lineage.
Tiered RBAC, DPoP, FIDO2/MFA mesh, sealed blobs, purpose-bound Ed25519 tokens verified at edge.
Modbus/Relay/HID, SPIFFS/LittleFS, buck/ACS712 sizing, potting, RJ45 pigtails, 3D brackets — field-wired.
