About Me

Gerson Diaz

I'm a dedicated Computer Science student at John Brown University, pursuing a B.S. with a Minor in Full-Stack Development. I'm driven by a strong work ethic and a genuine love for technology — always looking for new ways to learn and build.

Originally from Guatemala, I'm bilingual in Spanish and English, and I bring a global perspective to everything I work on. I've served as an interpreter, taught Bible school for children in Guatemala, and coordinated logistics for rural humanitarian programs — experiences that shaped how I communicate and collaborate in diverse teams.

Outside of coursework I enjoy building side projects, exploring new CS concepts, and finding ways technology can solve real-world problems.

Tank Control

A cross-platform mobile app for hobbyists and professionals who want full command over their pet tank setups. Monitor live pet activity, remotely adjust temperature, and automate feeding on a custom schedule — all from your phone. Built on a React Native front-end powered by a FastAPI backend and a PostgreSQL database.

Smart Temperature Monitor & Alert System

A real-time IoT monitoring system built on the MSP430G2 microcontroller that autonomously reacts to rising temperatures — spinning up a DC fan for cooling, triggering a buzzer and flashing LED for critical alerts, and pushing live temperature readings to a smartphone over Bluetooth. A 16×2 LCD displays live status at a glance, no manual checks required.

RBAC Framework for Autonomous AI Agents

Enterprise AI agents today operate with dangerously broad permissions — a single compromised or hallucinating agent can silently exfiltrate sensitive data across entire data lakes. This middleware framework enforces Least Privilege for machine identities through role-based access control, eliminating privilege bloat and hardening systems against prompt injection attacks. Filling a gap where no standard tooling currently exists.
