This page collects the kind of work that tends to become blog posts: CTF infrastructure, security tooling, appsec experiments, firmware puzzles, and small utilities that make repeated work less annoying.

Current Themes

BSides Fort Wayne CTF

Challenge development, deployment automation, CTFd population, containerized services, badge firmware, and the logistics that sit behind a smooth event. This is where security engineering, puzzle design, and operations all meet.

Application Security

Notes and experiments around web application penetration testing, static analysis, threat modeling, secure SDLC practices, and vulnerability management. I am interested in the point where a finding becomes a fix that actually sticks.

Infrastructure And Homelab Work

Automation, containers, Linux systems, network services, and the practical lab work that keeps technical skills from getting stale. A good lab gives you room to break things on purpose and rebuild them with better notes.

Embedded And Badge Work

Firmware and badge projects are fun because they force security thinking into a smaller, stranger environment. They also make excellent CTF material: visible feedback, constrained inputs, and just enough hardware flavor to make a puzzle memorable.
