Software Engineering · IT Security · Technical Investigation
Observe. Analyze. Calculate. Automate.
I am an IT Security student and software engineer focused on understanding complex systems and turning them into secure, reproducible, and well-documented workflows.
My work spans backend and API development, business-system integration, containerized application operations, automation, security analysis, and technical documentation. I prefer an evidence-driven approach: map the architecture, identify trust boundaries, test hypotheses, automate repeatable steps, and document the result.
I competed as a solo participant under the team name N3tForce in my first Cyber Apocalypse event.

My investigation-oriented challenge documentation is available here:
Cyber Apocalypse 2026 Write-ups
- Secure software and APIs — backend design, validation, authorization, and maintainable service architecture
- Integration and automation — REST APIs, EDI workflows, business systems, and repeatable operational tooling
- Infrastructure and application operations — Docker, Tomcat, Linux, Windows, reverse proxies, printing, and deployment workflows
- Security analysis — web applications, forensics, reverse engineering, cloud/IAM, hardware, and AI security scenarios
- Engineering standards — code review, technical documentation, project structure, and reusable development practices
| Area | Technologies |
|---|---|
| Languages | C#, Java, Python, JavaScript, SQL, Bash, PowerShell |
| Backend and integration | REST APIs, EDI, AS2, X.400, SFTP, Sage 100 |
| Platforms and operations | Docker, Tomcat, Ubuntu/Linux, Windows, Apache HTTPD, CUPS/IPP |
| Engineering workflow | Git, Azure, Notion, API testing, technical documentation |
| Security | Application security, forensics, reversing, cloud security, CTF methodology |
I am working toward a role that combines software development and IT security, with a long-term focus on secure engineering and Purple Team work.
Current priorities include:
- building reusable security and diagnostics tooling;
- improving secure API and application architecture;
- publishing technical investigations and CTF write-ups;
- deepening practical knowledge across development, infrastructure, and offensive security.
Evidence before assumptions.
Reproducibility over one-off success.
Least privilege at every trust boundary.
Documentation is part of the engineering work.
Outside of technical work, I enjoy reading, Jujutsu and swordsmanship, and building fantasy settings and characters for Dungeons & Dragons.
