Tamper-Proof Content Blocker & Device Protection App
System-Level Mobile Threat Protection & Local Network Filtering
The Challenge
Standard Android content filters are easy for users to bypass, disable, or uninstall, while third-party remote VPNs introduce severe latency and data privacy risks.
The Solution & Impact
Built a Kotlin-native Android application that enforces device-level content filtering and anti-tampering protection locally without sending user traffic to external servers.
Local VPN & DNS Filtering: Intercepts system-wide DNS packets via a local VpnService TUN interface to block prohibited domains locally with zero latency.
System-Level Security Hooks: Utilized Android Accessibility Services and Device Admin APIs to prevent unauthorized uninstallation, force-stopping, or setting bypasses.
Tamper-Proof Lock: Enforced settings locking via an encrypted, randomized password generator to ensure non-bypassable enforcement.
Tech Stack: Kotlin | Android SDK | VpnService | Accessibility APIs | DeviceAdminReceiver | Jetpack Compose

Turning raw API data into interactive insights. 📊✨
Here is a look at a GitHub User Search application I built. It integrates directly with the GitHub API to fetch real-time profile metrics, repository data, and follower networks. I implemented secure OAuth authentication for frictionless login and utilized dynamic charting libraries to visually break down a developer's most used languages, starred repos, and top-forked projects. A great showcase of API integration, state management, and data visualization! 💻🚀
The data visualization here is incredibly clean! The dashboard layout makes the GitHub stats so much easier to digest than the native site. Really great UI work here.
