    Work

    Skill should serve people

    Three rules I hold myself to, borrowed from the samurai.

    Justicegi

    I test only what I am authorised to test, and I report what I find. Protecting people comes before being clever.

    Courageyu

    Say the uncomfortable thing in the report, in the room and in public. Truth that stays quiet protects no one.

    Sinceritymakoto

    No inflated claims. Every number on this site, from the rank to the CVE, can be checked.

    I want to show the next generation that being very good at something is not only a way to earn. Poets, painters and musicians end up taking a side with their craft. I take mine with code: finding what is broken, reporting it responsibly, and backing the people who expose wrongdoing.

    Away from the keyboard

    Hackathons

    Hyperliquid Community Hackathon, 2025. 2nd place, Best use of Goldsky.

    MLH Hacks for Hackers. Prize winner.

    I enter a few every year, mostly for fun.

    On the court

    Basketball and badminton.

    The best way I know to stop staring at a screen.

    Screens

    Games on a Legion laptop with an RTX 4090.

    I run a gaming channel, PlaysZoroX, for fun. Anime and manga fill the rest, samurai stories most of all.

    Outdoors

    Nature is where I reset.

    The mountains behind this page are generated, and the sky follows the time where you are.
