Security Researcher& Ethical Hacker
I break things for a living — responsibly. I document what I learn in detailed writeups so the next person doesn't have to rediscover the same tricks.
Curious, methodical, a little paranoid
I'm a security researcher and ethical hacker who likes to understand systems by taking them apart. Most of my free time goes into HackTheBox, OverTheWire, and assorted CTFs — with a bias toward web, network, and Linux challenges.
I come from a software-engineering background, which means I think about security the way a builder does: what could I have done to prevent this, and how do I explain it to the team that shipped it? The writeups on this site reflect that — step-by-step, with the reasoning included, not just the commands.
