About

I'm a security dork working in decentralised, FOSS projects.

The blog has security, maths, physics, music, and some life. If you're interested in working with me, do bare in mind this blog is informal. How informal? Fairly fucking informal.

I come from 7 years of mathematical physics and pure mathematics. Sadly, my interest lied in areas that were either stagnating or ivory tower. I'll temporarily spare you the rants about the axiom of choice and the prevalence of certain unfalsifiable theories.

I wanted to do something useful, complex, and as passion-sparking as physics is to me. While mulling that over, the reflection of my battle-tested tinfoil hat guided me to information security.

I learnt programming, system administration, web development (1.0), forced my friends to use OTR and PGP, and hacked through OSCP, OSCE, and OSWP. I've worked as a Security Analyst, a Vulnerability Research Engineer, an Information Security Officer, and some funkier titles. I emigrated from Ireland to glorious Switzerland in 2019 and have my own consultancy.

Other than that, I love privacy, comedy, scepticism, warlock guitars, and lulz.
