ABOUT

Who I Am & What I Build

I’m Sultanus Salehin, a cybersecurity and software development enthusiast currently pursuing my B.Sc. in CSE at Daffodil International University (DIU). I blend offensive security knowledge (CEH, PEN200 ongoing) with embedded systems and IoT, and bring them together using AI and data-driven methods.

My work ranges from secure LoRa communication systems and IoT rescue robots & drones, to hospital & LMS platforms and explainable AI for medical imaging. I enjoy taking an idea from a sketch in a notebook to a working prototype that you can deploy, monitor, and trust.

Through the Erasmus+ KA-171 program at Yıldız Technical University (Istanbul), I gained international exposure in blockchain security, computer vision, and robotics, designing experimental prototypes and exploring cryptographic mechanisms for secure communication.

Security-Flavored Snippet


// Pseudo: anomaly score for blockchain tx
def anomaly_score(tx_features, model):
    # tx_features: vectorized transaction features
    prob = model.predict_proba([tx_features])[0]
    # Lower confidence -> more suspicious
    score = 1.0 - max(prob)
    return score
            

I like building pipelines that turn raw logs & transactions into meaningful threat signals.

PROJECTS

Systems I’ve Built & Why

Each project here had a clear motivation: secure communication, real-time decision-making, or solving a practical need.

IoT • Security

Secure LoRa Messenger (ESP32 + SX1278)

Goal: Create a low-power, long-range messaging system that keeps communication alive even without traditional networks.

  • Implemented two-way messaging between ESP32 boards using SX1278 LoRa modules.
  • Added a custom encryption layer so messages are protected in transit.
  • Designed hardware setup, wiring diagram, and safety checks (with multimeter diagnostics).
  • Explored how such a system can be used in disaster zones or remote areas.

Tech: ESP32, SX1278 LoRa, C/C++, Arduino IDE
