I build, break, and secure things.

About

I'm a Security Researcher

I work across application security, automation, and software engineering. I like understanding systems from the inside, then turning that understanding into something useful.

This site is a focused record of the tools I ship, the competitions I enter, and the lessons that survive real-world testing.
