software developer · ethical hacker · synthwave kid
hey. i'm alex — i build things, break things, and try to leave systems cleaner than i found them.
my setup is linux, neovim, and a playlist that hasn't changed in three years. i work keyboard-first, avoid GUIs unless forced, and have strong opinions about folder structure.
if you're here for security research, pentesting tooling, or just to poke at something i built — welcome.
◆ stack
languages → python kotlin java
editors → neovim (daily driver) intellij (when the codebase demands it)
workflow → linux-first keyboard-native security-hardened
tooling → custom scripts pentesting automation dev-flow hacks
◆ how i work
no GUI if i can help it. every tool gets configured, trimmed, or replaced with something i wrote. the loop is: build → test → break → patch → repeat — until it holds under pressure.
i'm not chasing speed for the sake of it. i want systems that stay fast and don't fall apart at 2am when something actually matters.
◆ off the clock
▸ satisfactory → i optimize factories the same way i optimize code. obsessively.
▸ fallout → retro-futuristic grit bleeds into everything i name and build.
▸ synthwave → always on. non-negotiable.
▸ easter eggs → branch names, repo folders — they're in there somewhere.

efficiency is the goal. the code is the journey.
