about.txt

I have been drawn to how computers work beneath the surface since I was young, and over time that curiosity turned into a focus on information security. My work centers on malware behavior, reverse-engineering Windows executables, and applied cryptography.

Alongside hands-on work, I write technical articles on executable obfuscation in the age of AI, the evolution of modern threats, and classical block ciphers. I care about the details, and I enjoy explaining how things work under the hood.
