Adam Secrest

Cybersecurity and Software Developer | Network, Systems, and Tool Engineering


About Me

I’m a Computer Science graduate with a concentration in Cybersecurity from California State University, Fullerton.
My interests center around systems, networking, and security — with experience spanning compiler design, antivirus development, and network-based software. I actively study through platforms like TryHackMe and am currently preparing for the CompTIA Network+ certification.

I enjoy building tools that make complex systems interactive and engaging, from practical cybersecurity utilities to creative applications in virtual and AI-driven environments.


Featured Projects

• Code Sensei (VS Code Extension)

An AI mentor embedded within VS Code that interacts directly with the user’s code.
Built using TypeScript and webviews, it integrates seamlessly above the code editor to provide an immersive mentorship experience.

• Custom Compiler

A C++ compiler project focusing on lexical analysis, syntax parsing, and code generation.
Designed to follow classic compiler construction principles while offering modularity for educational extensions.

• Huffman Encoding Tool

A compression utility implementing Huffman encoding and decoding in C++.
Demonstrates efficient memory and file handling for lossless data compression.

• VRChat Worlds and Avatars

Created multiple worlds and avatars in Blender with custom textures and imported assets.
Focus on interaction design, optimization for VR performance, and integration of animation and full-body tracking.

• Discord Interactive Bot (coming soon as pinned project)

A multifunctional Discord bot including interactive games, moderation utilities, and user engagement tools.
Features a dynamic “!penalize” system and blackjack mini-game, with plans for an in-memory economy.

• Antivirus Project (in development — look forward to this!)

An in-progress antivirus tool focused on behavioral detection and process monitoring.
Aims to combine low-level analysis with practical interface design for educational and personal use.
