About Me

Drive

I am an inspired security software seveloper. I have a large amount of interest in optimization, security administration, automation and Development. I strive to expand my knowledge in all areas and will never stop learning.


Hobbies

I am a moderator for the California Desert Trial Academy School of Law discord channel and the California Traffic Ticket reddit forum. I actively play classical Piano on breaks between work and personal research projects. I activly studied Microcontrollers such as the Atmel ATTiny84 (C++) and built my own software UART library before subseqently moving to the Xtensa Expressif ESP8266 NONOS baremetal SDK (Written in C) for a few years before heading to law school, now that school is over I've picked this subject back up and have dove deeper into creating my own debugger for the chipset. This has been an ongoing research project for me over the last 8 years.
