I built ProofFace a visual provenance & content verification engine in Rust I have been building ProofFace an end-to-end visual provenance and content verification engine built in Rust.

The idea is simple:

Finding an image online doesn’t prove that it’s authentic, original, or unchanged.

So I built a verification pipeline that goes from:

📸 Image input → 🧠 Neural face detection → 🔎 Web visual discovery → 🧬 Biometric similarity → 🔐 Deterministic SHA-256 fingerprinting → ⛓️ Polygon Amoy blockchain proof → ✅ Verification result

Some of the things I worked on:

• ONNX-based face detection • 128-dimensional biometric embeddings • Presentation attack detection • Parallel visual candidate evaluation • Cosine similarity matching • RFC 8785 JSON canonicalization • SHA-256 content fingerprinting • Polygon smart-contract integration • Automated unit & integration testing

The project currently has 30 passing tests.

What I enjoyed most was bringing several different areas together computer vision, Rust systems programming, cryptography, and blockchain into one reproducible verification workflow.

Would love to hear what you’d improve or add to a system like this.

My goal was to create a website that feels ambitious and technically capable without looking like a generic agency template. I used a deep midnight-blue visual direction with white typography, neon blue accents, subtle purple lighting, glass surfaces, and carefully controlled motion. This gives the site a modern, high-end feel while keeping the focus on the work itself.

The hero section is built around the idea of transformation. It begins with an outlined city and the message “Imagine the future,” then reveals a complete city with “Build the reality” as the visitor scrolls. This mirrors the way I approach projects: starting with an early concept, then turning it into a practical digital system that people can actually use. The scroll interaction creates an immediate reason to explore the site while making the opening feel more memorable than a standard static banner.

I structured the rest of the experience to guide attention naturally. The client ticker adds movement and credibility without distracting from the content. The services section uses a clean two-by-two layout so visitors can quickly understand my main areas of work, including AI systems, SaaS development, product design, and growth automation. Each card has enough visual detail to feel premium, but the information remains easy to scan.

The work section is designed as an interactive expanding gallery. When a visitor focuses on a project, it grows to reveal more context and a clear call to action. This creates a more engaging way to present projects while keeping the page visually clean. Instead of showing everything at once, the design lets each project earn attention individually.

Excellent
