colorado springs — computer engineer
I like building things that are interesting from the ground up.
My dad got me into coding through Khan Academy. I went from that to C, then C++, then Python, then CS50, and at some point I just started spending all my time in developer forums trying to learn whatever I could find. I'm still that way to this day.
These days I mostly work in Rust and C++ on systems stuff, such as kernel drivers, hypervisors, binary analysis tools, reverse engineering. I like understanding how things actually work at the hardware and OS level. I've built a real-time messaging platform from scratch, a kernel-mode driver with a manual PE mapper, a hypervisor, and a bunch of other things I've written up on the writeups page.
I'm a junior at Pine Creek, class rank 7. I went to FBLA nationals for Coding & Programming after placing 1st at district and state. Last year I interned on the R&D team at Restaurant365 writing SQL against production Snowflake datasets. I'm also the #3 contributor to wplacer — 40 commits, 5,306 lines — and helped run their 2,500-member contributor Discord.

Diving deeper into anticheat reversing and low-level c++/rust. Always reading something new, TBATE.
