About Me

Hey! I'm a security researcher and developer with a passion for breaking things (ethically) and making cool tools. I got my start in the tech world through console modding and cloud gaming research, which led me down the rabbit hole of security research and tool development.

My Work

I'm probably best known for my work on cloud gaming security, particularly:

• Finding ways to run unauthorized software on cloud gaming platforms
• Developing the USE (Unauthorized Software Enabler) toolkit in multiple languages
• Creating tools for console modding and game preservation

My Setup

I work across three main systems:

Daily Driver

• MacBook Air M1
• macOS Latest
• Perfect balance of power and portability for development

School Machine

• Surface Go 2
• Aurora Linux
• Switched from Windows because it was too slow, now it flies

Gaming Rig

• Custom Built PC
• Windows 10 LTSC 2021
• Stripped of bloatware for pure gaming performance

Tools & Languages

I work with whatever gets the job done, but I'm particularly experienced with:

• Python for quick tool development
• Batch/PowerShell for Windows automation
• C# for more robust applications
• Linux system tools and bash scripting

Projects

Most of my projects focus on:

• Cloud gaming security research
• Console modding tools
• System automation
• FOSS development
