🧠 Who Am I?
- No degree. No buzzwords.
- Just 12+ years of real experience, broken systems, deep debugging, and bottom-up learning.
- I live in the low-levels: C, assembly, custom Linux, and bare metal.
- Everything I run, I build or control—end to end.
If it’s a black box, I break it open.
If it’s noisy, I silence it.
If it's slow, I rewrite it.
🛠 What I Do
- OS Internals: Kernel-level learning through rebuilding
- Cybersecurity: Custom hardened distros, secure sandbox environments, full trace monitoring
- Reverse Engineering: Analysis of obfuscated behavior, tooling, low-level patching
- Virtualization: Custom VMs, optimized isolation environments
- C Programming: Memory, pointers, segmentation — from nothing to everything
- Open Source Dev: I don’t just use tools. I build them.
- Automation: Task schedulers, cleaners, service enforcers — all built from scratch
🧱 Homelab = Fortress
My homelab is not just for play. It’s an active security ecosystem I designed and built.
- Built my own threat detection, alerting, and automated countermeasure system
- Logs are parsed, analyzed, correlated — acted upon
- Not reliant on vendor software — I write my own daemons
- Each machine monitored, each process validated
- Periodic scanners, surface analysis, port surveillance
- Built using:
C,shell,Rust,Linux,custom agents,crontab,iptables,fail2ban,auditd
🧬 My Philosophy
- Open Source first – Everything I build is meant to be given back
- Simplicity wins – Code should be minimal, secure, efficient
- Respect is earned – Through code quality, not titles
- I aim to build tools that help other devs work better
- Long term: I just want to maintain good OSS, nothing else

Control the system, or be controlled by it.
Will allow me to buy enough coffee and Redbull after family expenses to work hard for the community 😉
