I’m br0wnboi.

I spend most of my time exploring the chaotic intersection of software and hardware. I specialize in breaking embedded devices and IoT systems, analyzing firmwares, and automating anything that requires me to click a button more than twice.

I’m a massive advocate for Linux and I do enjoy going through the pain of spending hours tweaking configs just to get my Steam library running flawlessly(thank god for Proton).

Things I enjoy

  • Ripping apart embedded systems and hardware
  • Writing obscure, single-purpose bash scripts and AI automations
  • Tinkering with my CachyOS setup (Linux > Windows, don’t @ me)
  • Forcing Windows-only games to run on Linux via Proton
  • Playing CTFs when the mood strikes(honestly mood hasn’t struck in a long while, thanks to my day job)
