A little about me
Hello.
This is my personal blog where I write in about a broad variety of topics, though most are pretty technical in nature. Infosec, business, and privacy.
Ever since I was 7 years old I self-taught various programming languages, I learned reverse engineering, I started a company, sold it, and I'm now the director of Discreet, a privacy-respecting value transfer system with a powerful unique value proposition.
I'm also on the board of Polytunnel, a residential proxy service provider helping provide large structured datasets for AI companies, data analytics businesses, as well as SEO results for larger B2B clients such as SERP from around around the world.
You might've noticed a theme in all of my companies; they all involve mass-communication and complex packet-handling/routing, in the case of Discreet's consensus mechanism as well as Peerbloom and Petal which are both network-discovery algorithms for unstructured peer-to-peer networks. In general I find communication over man-made lines incredible, I am however, always thinking of ways to make those 1's and 0's more private for the everyday user.
That is what you can expect from this blog, a lot of technical writing, networking, cryptography, infosec, with the occasional opinion piece thrown in there, as well as hobbies/projects I am working on, hopefully this can serve as a sort of CV eventually.
