About Me

Offensive security, low-level systems, and practical research.

Security Research

Penetration testing, exploit development, reverse engineering, vulnerability research, and offensive security across modern and low-level targets.

Programming & Systems

Experience building tooling, backend systems, automation, and low-level software across multiple programming environments and platforms.

Hardware & Embedded

Embedded systems, firmware analysis, IoT research, SDR workflows, RF experimentation, and hardware-oriented security assessment.

Expertise

Low-level research, offensive operations, and embedded security.

A practical spread of security research disciplines, from exploit work and reversing to embedded targets and RF systems.
