Featured Work
Projects built around real security problems.
Two flagship GitHub projects demonstrate David's interest in fraud prevention, security operations, AI-assisted investigation and user-centred security design.
Project 01
DaveTraceTech
An early-stage cybersecurity and card-fraud prevention concept designed to help cardholders detect suspicious activity, secure affected cards, understand transaction-location context and organise useful evidence for authorised investigations.
The current public repository documents a working front-end prototype using fictional data and clearly distinguishes proposed future capabilities from live banking or law-enforcement integrations.

Project 02
DAPilot
An AI-assisted SOC investigation copilot concept focused on security-alert triage, IOC enrichment, MITRE ATT&CK mapping and security reporting — designed to make analyst workflows clearer and more efficient.
The project reflects David's interest in practical blue-team tooling and in making investigation outputs useful for analysts, MSSPs, enterprises, government and training environments.

How David approaches security problems.
Security with clarityMake technical risk understandable enough for users, analysts and decision-makers to act on it.
Evidence over assumptionsSeparate indicators, investigative leads and verified conclusions — especially in fraud and attribution contexts.
Prototype, learn, improveTurn concepts into tangible prototypes and documentation, then refine them through technical and business feedback.
