PROJECTS
PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS. REAL OPERATIONAL IMPACT.
Red Dawn Nexus develops practical technology projects focused on systems visibility, automation, security, and AI-enabled operations. This page highlights what we’re building now and what we’re planning next.
COMPLETED
SELF-HOSTED SECURE REMOTE ACCESS
A self-hosted remote access solution built to provide secure connectivity back to a home network using NetBird, Docker, dynamic DNS, and hardened remote access practices.
PHASE 1
Phase 1 established the self-hosted VPN environment, secure remote connectivity, automated dynamic DNS updates, and hardened access for connecting back to the home network from approved devices.
NEXT PHASE
The next phase will extend the setup to a portable travel router, providing a simple way to route trusted devices through the secure tunnel while traveling.
DEFENDERS OF DIGITAL CITY
A children’s cybersecurity activity and coloring book created to introduce online safety, privacy, and responsible technology habits in an approachable, age-appropriate way.
PROJECT GOAL
Make foundational cybersecurity concepts easier for parents, educators, and young learners to introduce before children begin navigating the online world independently.
IN DEVELOPMENT
NODEWATCH
NodeWatch is a Windows-focused monitoring and visibility project designed to make workstation health and activity easier to review from a single interface.
WHAT IT DOES
Brings together practical system information such as resource usage, storage, running applications, user sessions, and other operational data that would otherwise require checking multiple locations.
CURRENT FOCUS
Refining the interface, expanding the information available, and developing NodeWatch into a practical tool for day-to-day system visibility and troubleshooting.
PLANNED
RED DAWN NEXUS AI ASSISTANT
A planned AI-enabled operations assistant designed to bring practical tools, knowledge, automation, and workflows together through a unified interface.
PLANNED DIRECTION
The initiative will explore using AI with approved tools and data sources to surface relevant information, assist with routine operational tasks, and support automation while maintaining appropriate human control.
LONG-TERM GOAL
Build an extensible assistant that can grow alongside other Red Dawn Nexus projects and operational tools rather than functioning as a standalone chatbot.
