I try to build durable, practical systems and ship boring software that works. Currently preparing for the Certified Web Exploitation Specialist (CWES) offered by HackTheBox.

I don't post my code to Github often. I prefer to use a private Gitea instance which I backup periodically. I also sincerly dislike social media and what it's done to people/society so I don't post to those sites often (even though people say 'you have to have a presence', to which I say 'to hell with it'), mostly just to post HTB machines I've completed and occasionaly to shout into the void (even though I don't and will never pay to have my 'voice' be 'heard' by strangers (who are often mid-level 'elites' who have no time for plebs like me + I don't want to be apart of a "world stage" or "global townsquare" where the voices that are heard are the loudest and most obnoxious) so the shouting void thing is useless, I know).

Sorry, I got carried away. Anyway...

• Web security and exploitation practice
• Building small, professional tools that solve real problems
• Turning practical skill into stable, repeatable outcomes

• Discipline beats mood
• Finishable scope is strength
• Learning only counts when it ships

Bachelors in Fine Arts, focus in Drawing and Painting (don't go to art school)
