stack & experience

I use JavaScript, TypeScript, Rust, Python, PHP, Java, HTML, CSS, and whatever else fits the job, plus Svelte, React, Astro, Node, Bun, Docker, Linux, FastAPI, and discord bot stacks. Full skill matrix on /code [link].

[PROGRAMMING AND CODING]

Longest-running skill (since 7). Websites, discord bots, apps, languages, OS weirdness. I build things and ship them.

[HACKING]

Bug bounties, CVEs, MCP/Gemini research, Kali-on-WSL energy. Break first, write it up, then fix the ecosystem if I can.

[CREATIVE SKILLS]

VFX, CGI, 3D modelling, video editing, digital art when I'm not touching a terminal.
