I take systems apart, then build ones that hold.

Security researcher and software engineer. I reverse-engineer real malware and apps, publish the evidence, and build AI and on-chain products on Solana and Sui with the same threat-model discipline.

I take malware apart — and publish the whole record

B.Tech Cybersecurity (FUTO). Three investigations of real specimens — timeline, mechanism, detection — published live with source, IOCs and YARA rules. No CTFs, no toy binaries. NGL and Grindr are analysed from their publicly distributed apps; claims stay limited to what the code shows.

Beyond the code

Hobbies & interests

Security research lives in its own section above. The other habit that sharpens what I ship: making expensive tooling free.

sync

Free-alternative tinkerer

I port paid and proprietary tooling to open, free equivalents — agent workflows from Claude Code to OpenCode, the Cyber Strike security harness ported to OpenCode, and Koe’s native MCP server built as a free alternative to ElevenLabs, because paying for API access should never be the entry ticket.
