MoneroVis: Visual Analytics for Exploration and Traceability in a Privacy-Preserving Blockchain
Accepted, 8th Conference on Blockchain Research & Applications for Innovative Networks and Services
Co-authored a paper introducing MoneroVis, an interactive visual analytics system for exploring and tracing transactions in privacy-preserving blockchain networks. Demonstrated system efficacy through a forensic case study tracing the WannaCry 2.0 ransomware funds and a domain expert study evaluating analytical confidence in privacy-preserving networks.

· Thesis Project
Designed and built a novel forensic analysis platform for the Monero blockchain, utilizing
state-of-the-art visualization techniques to expose underlying cryptographic structures.
Implemented a custom high-performance indexing engine to map ring signatures in reverse,
enabling real-time 'forward-looking' traversal of the transaction graph. Leveraged this
architecture to implement advanced heuristics, such as automatic tracing of poisoned outputs, to
analyze monetary flows within a privacy-preserving network.

· Personal Project
Developed a full-stack LLM chat platform with Spring Boot and Angular, using Spring AI to manage local LLM inference via llama.cpp. Implemented branching conversation flows, persistent chat history, multimodal ingestion, and rich Markdown, LaTeX, and code rendering, alongside RAG pipelines powered by pgVector for semantic search. Built a responsive UI with real-time generation metrics and seamless mid-conversation model switching.
Built a self-hosted, non-custodial point-of-sale (POS) system for accepting Monero payments,
integrating directly with monero-wallet-rpc. Designed a full payment lifecycle including invoice
creation, subaddress generation, real-time status tracking, and webhook-based backend
integration. Implemented fiat-to-XMR conversion, underpayment handling, invoice expiration, and
background workers for blockchain polling and price updates. Developed a lightweight embeddable
checkout widget and browser-based POS interface for both in-person and online use.
Ticketline
· University Group Project
Created a web application for browsing, reserving, and purchasing event tickets with graphical
seat selection. The system supports full user authentication, advanced search, and handles
concurrent ticket purchases to prevent conflicts. Built as a group project following SCRUM
principles, with a focus on meeting strict technical requirements and delivering a smooth user
experience.
