Welcome to my corner of the GitHub and Open Source universe! I’m Stephen de Jager, a seasoned IT enthusiast with over 20 years of experience, and a passionate cybersecurity student diving into the depths of code and creativity. Think of me as your friendly neighborhood developer, always ready to tackle a new challenge, debug a pesky issue, or collaborate on exciting projects.
I’m not just about code; I bring a wealth of knowledge, innovative ideas, and a penchant for problem-solving. With a background in training and a commitment to open-source principles, I aim to create inclusive and engaging projects that not only serve practical purposes but also inspire others to contribute.
- Penetration Testing Tools: I’m developing tools that support reconnaissance, enumeration, and task automation—think of it as a Swiss Army knife for penetration testers.
- Ransomware Research: My project on ransomware data collection and visualization aims to shine a light on the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats.
- AI-Driven Solutions: I’m leveraging machine learning to create models that help improve executive functioning for individuals with ADHD, proving that tech can truly change lives.
Open source thrives on collaboration! Whether you’re a seasoned developer, a curious learner, or someone who just enjoys tinkering with code, I invite you to join me. Here’s how you can get involved:
- Fork my repositories: Don’t just watch from the sidelines—dive in! Fork, modify, and share your versions.
- Raise issues: Found a bug or have a suggestion? I’m all ears! Constructive feedback helps me improve and refine my projects.
- Collaborate: If you have a project idea or need assistance, let’s chat! I love brainstorming new concepts and turning them into reality.
Curious about my work? Here are some places you can check out:
- My GitHub Profile: canstralian - Explore my repositories, contributions, and projects.
- My Replit Profile: canstralian - Check out my interactive coding adventures and prototypes.
- I believe breakfast is the most important meal of the day—especially if it includes coffee and a side of code!
- I’m a single dad to an amazing 8-year-old who keeps me on my toes and reminds me that curiosity is the key to creativity.
- When I’m not coding, you might find me diving into a good book or enjoying some recreational substances (responsibly, of course!).
I’m always excited to meet fellow tech enthusiasts and like-minded individuals. If you have questions, suggestions, or just want to chat about tech, feel free to reach out. Let’s make the open-source community a little brighter, one line of code at a time!
