Systems Architecture & Resilience

Production-level maintenance of high-performance Linux environments (Pop!_OS/Kali) tailored for heavy LLM workloads and security research.

Case Study: 0x7B Boot Loop Recovery

Resolved a critical system failure on an MSI Raider GE78 HX where a CMOS reset triggered an INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE error due to VMD controller defaults[cite: 57, 59].

Linux Kernel Engineering

• Power Management: Configured NVMe power states (pcie_aspm=off) to prevent controller timeouts during high-I/O research tasks.
• Environment Isolation: Executed Chroot-based repairs on non-bootable systems, rebuilding initramfs and managing systemd-boot configurations[cite: 97, 98].
• Thermal Overhaul: Performed mechanical cleaning of the Cooler Boost 5 system (Dual 12V fans + 6 copper heat pipes) to resolve thermal shutdowns[cite: 61, 66].

Mobile Pentesting & Chroot Architecture

Configured a specialized mobile security environment on a Samsung Tab A (SM-T595) utilizing a native ext4 partition on external media to bypass noexec restrictions[cite: 47, 82].
