Self-Taught | Systems Hacker | C Developer | Cybersecurity Engineer | OSS Maker

🧠 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
