Joe Severino

Cybersecurity graduate student at Georgia Tech focused on network security, security engineering, and the production tooling that keeps secure systems maintainable.

Certifications: CCNA, CompTIA Security+, ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity (CC)

Most of my projects are built around real systems I run myself: WordPress hardening, TLS automation, private PKI, DNS filtering, local AI tooling with safety boundaries, and homelab infrastructure.

Featured Projects

  • severino-vault-mcp - Local-first MCP server that gives AI assistants safe access to an Obsidian operations vault. Layered CI security tooling (CodeQL, pip-audit, OSSF Scorecard, Dependabot), documented threat model, and a four-tier sensitivity gate for credential-adjacent content.
  • branding-engine - Published npm package that generates favicons, vector marks, wordmarks, social cards, brand sheets, and web tokens from one color and monogram. It is the single-source brand renderer behind jseverino.com, with real font-outline rendering and provenance-attested GitHub releases.
  • sitedrift - Published npm package for reviewing DEV against LIVE on the same route. It provides Split, Solo, Overlay/Diff, synchronized navigation, response deltas, SEO checks, browser-local notes, an MCP interface for AI collaborators, and a two-step Cloudflare Pages preview addon that leaves production unchanged.
  • jseverino.com - Public Astro portfolio deployed on Cloudflare Pages from a private Obsidian vault. It uses branding-engine as its generated brand source and sitedrift on branch previews, alongside vault-to-content sync, static publishing checks, CSP hardening, and a D1-backed contact form protected by Turnstile.
  • severino-labs-security-layer - Custom WordPress security plugin for application hardening, file integrity monitoring, security event logging, browser security headers, and passkey-first login customization.
  • tools - Personal macOS CLI suite: age-based file encryption with Keychain-cached unlock, vault sync, dotfile backup, DNS latency diagnostics, and a bridge between an Obsidian vault and a private Django docs index.
  • zsh-git-deploy-workflow - Zero-dependency Git deploy pipeline for solo devs. One bootstrap command wires SSH keys, GitHub integration, and per-project shell commands. acmepush "fix: message" stages, commits, pushes, and deploys without CI, YAML, or dashboards.
