Hi 👋,

I'm ArikSquad, a full-stack developer from Finland 🇫🇮 with a strong interest in systems, cybersecurity and server development. My strongest languages are Java and C++ but I also like to work with TypeScript, Python and Rust, or whatever language best fits the job. I enjoy working close to the underlying systems, understanding how things communicate and solving problems that cover software, infrastructure and networking.

What I've worked with

• Software development: backend systems, libraries, tooling, plugins and larger codebases
• Networking & infrastructure: self-hosted services, Tailscale networks, proxies, DNS, routing and server administration
• Server operations: operating and troubleshooting Minecraft server infrastructure and services used by a large numbers of users
• Cybersecurity: vulnerability research and bug-bounty work, including responsibly disclosed vulnerabilities including PoCs and rewarded submissions
• Experimentation: lower-level development and experimentation with technologies such as Vulkan

You can find some projects I've worked on pinned below. While I'm keen on open-source, some of my bigger projects are unfortunately closed-source for various reasons.
