Portfolio — selected work and notes

Girish Benni

I build small, tested things — then write down what broke.

This is a working portfolio: software I have built, security labs I have run on machines I own, AI experiments, open-source notes, and writing. Some of it is finished, some of it is still a draft. Both are labelled.

    01 About

    A working record,
    not a highlight reel.

    I would rather show the thing, the notes, and the rough edge than describe a version of myself that does not exist yet.

    This site collects what I am actually working on: code, security labs run in isolated environments, AI experiments, and the writing that comes out of them.

    Nothing here is a metric for its own sake. There are no follower counts, no invented certifications, and no statistics I cannot point at. When a project is a placeholder, it says so.

    I am interested in how systems fail — badly written parsers, over-permissioned APIs, models that sound confident and are not — and in building the smaller, clearer version that does not.

    02 Projects

    Things that
    actually run.

    Selected builds, with the repository or a live link where one exists. Filter by the kind of work, not by a logo wall.

    03 Cybersecurity

    Labs, notes,
    and careful testing.

    Hands-on work in networks, Linux, web and API security. Everything here was run in an environment I control, or one I was explicitly authorised to test.

      04 AI projects

      Experiments,
      not magic.

      Small AI tools and tests: what the model did, what it got wrong, and what I would change. No benchmarks unless I ran them.

      05 GitHub

      Source,
      in the open.

      Repositories I am willing to put my name on — including the unfinished ones.

      06 Writing

      Notes from
      the work.

      Technical write-ups, lab notes, and essays. Drafts are marked as drafts; they are not links until they are published somewhere.

        07 Contact

        Have something
        worth building?

        The quickest way to reach me is email. If a link is not listed here, it is not configured — nothing is hidden behind a fake form.
