A smart paludarium is a hybrid terrarium-aquarium environment designed to sustain a self-regulating micro-ecosystem. This project focuses on building a fully automated and remotely managed system using distributed sensors and actuators. The platform continuously monitors environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, pH levels, and soil moisture. It also enables remote control of key components including lighting systems, misting units, and ventilation modules. All system interactions are accessible through a web-based dashboard, providing real-time control, live data visualization, and continuous monitoring. Additionally, the system integrates an alerting system for anomaly detection.

• Distributed Sensor Nodes Based on ESP32 for data acqusition and monitoring.
• Asynchronous communication architecture (MQTT/WebSockets).
• Real-time data logging and historical analytics.

A file analysis toolkit designed to inspect, read, and manage internal file metadata, providing advanced capabilities for extracting, analyzing, and modifying embedded information while preserving file integrity and structure.

• Low-level parsing of file structures and metadata components.
• Detection and analysis of hidden or obfuscated metadata fields.
• Format-aware processing supporting multiple file types and encoding standards.

This project uses Python and hand tracking to control Windows through simple hand gestures. It is designed to translate real-time hand movements into system actions.

• Real-time gesture tracking using OpenCV computer vision.
• Gesture based controls for volume, media playback, and window navigation.
• Initial release focused on Windows support.
