ðŸ‘Ļ‍ðŸ’ŧ Developer by day, Cybersecurity warrior by night (in reality, I do it on alternating weekends - better not stress too much ðŸ˜ĩ‍ðŸ’Ŧ). I live for open source software, Linux 🐧, and my homelab 🏠 where the magic âœĻ (and occasional chaos ðŸĪŊ - actually, it's pretty regular ðŸĪŠ) happens. My homelab is my playground ðŸŽĒ, full of services where I test, break, and secure all sorts of technologies.

Passionate about securing the digital realm 🌐 while crafting cool code ðŸ’ū. Always learning 📚, always tinkering 🔧. Let's make the internet a safer place, one line of code at a time. ðŸ’ŧ🔒
