Passions

Cybersecurity & applied research

I like turning theory into useful tools. From threat modeling to binary analysis, I work on agents and RAG to automate checks and document results clearly.

Case study

Guitar & composition

I study and arrange pieces (classical/fingerstyle). Music trains precision and listening—the same qualities I bring to code and reviews.

YouTube channel

3D printing & design

I prototype accessories and small utilities (Blender → Cura → print). Fast iteration and measurement—the same mindset I apply to software.

Open-source & mentoring

Sharing code and writing short guides helps me crystallize ideas and help others grow. I like pairing, opening clear issues, and cleaning READMEs.
