About

I'm a security researcher and developer passionate about breaking things to understand how they work — then building them back better.

My work spans network security auditing, malware analysis, and exploit development. I enjoy operating at the intersection of offense and engineering.

Currently managing advanced homelab environments, developing secure software, and sharpening my technical operations toolkit. Always looking for interesting problems to solve.
