Expertise
Artificial Intelligence
I'm deeply into AI and Neural Networks. It's not just about using APIs; I want to understand how they think. Projects like NexusNG are my playground for NLP and automation.
Cybersecurity
Understanding how systems break is the only way to secure them. I don't just patch vulnerabilities; I hunt for them. Network security is a puzzle I love solving.
Ethical Hacking
White Hat all the way. I participate in CTFs and audit code because I enjoy the challenge. It's about knowledge, responsibility, and keeping the open web safe.
My Vision
Linux & Anonymity
Linux is the epitome of security and privacy. In a digital age where data is the new currency, using an open-source operating system ensures that your data remains yours. It is secure by design, transparent in its operation, and free from the tracking often found in proprietary systems.
Economic Freedom
Imagine the global savings if corporations moved away from expensive Microsoft licensing. Billions could be saved annually by switching to Linux. These resources could be redirected towards innovation, better wages, and sustainable development, breaking the cycle of paying for restrictive software.
True Independence
Open source means freedom from vendor lock-in. We are not just consumers; we are contributors. The ability to audit code, fix bugs, and commit changes to the kernel empowers the community. It creates a technology ecosystem that is resilient, independent, and owned by the people.
The Future is Open
Proprietary software is becoming obsolete. The future of technology—from cloud computing to artificial intelligence—is built on open source. It fosters rapid innovation through collaboration rather than competition. Embracing Linux is embracing the future of digital evolution.
OpSec: My Path to Anonymity
True anonymity online is not a product you can buy — it's a practice. My setup is an attempt to get as close as possible to leaving no trace: no hardware backdoors, no software tracking, no persistent identity. But the strongest system breaks the moment the user makes a mistake. A name, a writing style, a familiar pattern — any of it can unravel everything. The goal is not to hide. The goal is to never exist in the first place.
Hardware
ThinkPad T480 — Stripped & Hardened
Purchased with cash at a flea market — no paper trail, no serial number tied to an identity. The camera, microphone, Bluetooth module, and internal Wi-Fi card were physically cut and removed. The keyboard was replaced to eliminate any risk of pre-installed hardware keyloggers. The Intel Management Engine (ME) was neutralized using Libreboot with me_cleaner and the deguard exploit, which abuses a known vulnerability in MEv11 to disable Intel Boot Guard — the mechanism that prevents replacing proprietary firmware. From that point on, even Intel has no access.
Network
GL.iNet Beryl — Isolated VPN Router
The T480 has never touched my home network — not once. All traffic routes exclusively through a dedicated GL.iNet Beryl router running Mullvad VPN at the firmware level. The external Wi-Fi card was disassembled and verified with Wireshark to ensure it wasn't silently forwarding traffic. This creates a hard network boundary: the machine is completely isolated from all personal devices and home infrastructure.
System
Tails OS — Amnesiac by Design
The internal SSD is removed entirely. The machine boots exclusively from a USB stick running Tails — one of the most anonymity-focused operating systems available. Tails routes all traffic through Tor by default and leaves zero persistent state. Every reboot is a clean slate: no logs, no history, no identity. There is nothing to forensically recover. The system cannot betray what it was never allowed to remember.
