I am a security researcher focused on finding vulnerabilities in low-level systems, distributed protocols, and production APIs. I center my work on binary exploitation, protocol analysis, and understanding how complex systems fail.

I have identified multiple high-impact issues across blockchain protocols and production APIs, including buffer offset bugs in consensus code, gas undercharge due to Go context shadowing, and unauthenticated SSRF in a major payment API. My approach combines systematic code review, behavioral analysis, and tailored proof-of-concept exploits.

I build tooling and simulations to reproduce and reason about issues—custom fuzzers, consensus simulators, and smart-contract security utilities—and routinely read Go, Solidity, and Rust code to find subtle bugs. I engage with security teams through coordinated disclosure and provide clear PoC code and remediation guidance.

I am practical and thorough, aiming to find the subtle boundary conditions and state-machine errors that lead to the biggest impact. I prefer roles where I can continue deep technical research, collaborate with engineering teams, and see fixes deployed in production.
