πŸ‘‹ Hi, I'm Nikolai β€” Connected Systems Developer & Security Researcher

Building IoT products end-to-end and finding where they break before attackers do.


πŸ”Œ What I Do

I design, build, and audit connected systems β€” the full stack from microcontroller firmware to cloud backend to mobile app. My edge is understanding the entire system at once: how it's assembled, how it communicates, and where it's vulnerable.

Three things I do well:

Build β€” ESP32 firmware, FastAPI backends, Flutter apps, MQTT infrastructure. Full-cycle IoT product development from schematic to production.

Connect β€” Cloud integrations, Home Assistant, Node-RED automation, AI layers where they genuinely add value (not as a buzzword).

Secure β€” Firmware analysis, IoT infrastructure pentesting, AI security audits. I find vulnerabilities before someone else does.


πŸ† Commercial Work

🌿 Lephrone H01 β€” Smart Aroma Diffuser (US Client)

IoT product built from scratch: ESP32-S3 firmware, Flutter mobile app, cloud backend with OTA updates. Full technical documentation including threat modeling and security architecture.

ESP32-S3 ESP-IDF FreeRTOS Flutter FastAPI MQTT AWS IoT

πŸ” Backend Pentest Reports (Γ—2 commercial projects)

Full-cycle security assessments for real production systems. 10+ documents of structured findings β€” vulnerabilities, severity ratings, remediation plans. Critical API and infrastructure issues identified and closed before exploitation.

Burp Suite nmap Wireshark OWASP REST API security

🧠 Enterprise RAG System (Logistics)

Knowledge base bot for auto repair shop: vector search over 1C database and unstructured docs. 3x faster issue resolution for technicians.

πŸ’‘ My Methodology

I use LLMs as acceleration β€” not as replacement for thinking. For firmware, security research, and system architecture, there's no shortcut: the work requires genuine reasoning. LLMs handle the scaffolding; I handle the decisions that matter.

This is why I moved into IoT security specifically: it's one of the few domains where you can't fake competence. Either the system holds or it doesn't.


πŸ“ Writing & Research

I publish on connected systems, security, and the technology transition we're living through:

  • Habr β€” Technical deep-dives in Russian (photo archive classification system, LLM-driven development methodology, IoT architecture)
  • CyberCore (Telegram) β€” @CoreEuler β€” Philosophical and technical takes on how the world is becoming computational

I believe the gap between people who understand connected systems and people who live inside them is the defining security vulnerability of this decade. I write to close that gap.


πŸ“Š By the Numbers

  • πŸ”Œ 1 commercial IoT product shipped (US client, full cycle)
  • πŸ” 2 commercial pentest engagements with full documentation
  • πŸ“„ 10+ security assessment documents written
  • ⚑ LLM-accelerated development: prototypes in days, not weeks
  • πŸ’Ό Average project value: $800–3000

🎯 Current Focus

Building expertise at the intersection of:

  • IoT Security β€” firmware analysis, protocol security, infrastructure hardening
  • AI Security β€” LLM integration audits, prompt injection, red-teaming AI-powered products
  • Connected Systems Architecture β€” designing systems that are both functional and defensible from day one

🀝 Open to

  • IoT product development (firmware β†’ backend β†’ app)
  • Security audits of connected systems and IoT infrastructure
  • AI integration security reviews
  • Technical writing and research collaboration

🌱 Background

Self-taught developer. Former logistics analyst. Built my own LLM-accelerated development methodology before "vibe coding" became a term β€” documented it on GitHub and Habr. Transitioned from AI/automation freelancing into connected systems and security because that's where the work still requires thinking.

Based in Russia. Working with global clients.

Philosophy: The world is accelerating faster than people can adapt. The gap between those who understand connected systems and those who don't is growing β€” and that gap is dangerous. I build things that work, find where they break, and write about what I learn.
