Now
What I am doing
Updated whenever it stops being true. Right now most of my time goes to Hackuten, the OSCP, and finding an apprenticeship for September.
Last updated . What is a now page?
Building
Hackuten
Working on guided learning paths and the contribution format, so challenges can be added by people who are not me.
Orbyte
Core protocol work — identity keys, session establishment, and the fingerprint verification flow.
Batelys
Server-side deadlines and the escalation state machine. The unglamorous half, and the half that matters.
Learning
Preparing the OSCP
Lab machines end to end, with a written report for each one. Methodology over technique collection.
CTFs
Mostly web categories, and writing up the ones where I learned something rather than the ones I solved fastest.
Reading source
Working through real codebases with intent — the skill OSWE actually tests, and the one I want regardless of the exam.
Looking for
An apprenticeship in application security
Starting September 2026. Happy to talk about anything web security adjacent — offensive, defensive, or building the thing properly the first time.
Looking further out? The roadmap is on /goals.
