I protect people like you from people like me.
Security architect. Researcher. Tool maker.
25+ years breaking and building systems. 25+ years subtly changing the ways.
Now
ByteArchitect — My pain and my pride. Showing that reverse engineering is not rocket science. Currently: macOS hardening, AArch64 assembly, Apple defences.
Aradia — WAFs build walls. Attackers find breaches. Repeat forever. Aradia breaks the cycle — it's a swamp, not a wall. It doesn't block attacks. It makes them asymmetrically expensive for whoever tries.
0tH — My Mach-O parser. Pure Rust, no panic. Because I don't let my programs crash — even if it cuts me off from the Erlang arena.
theMechanix — A simple tool for reverse engineers. Objective-C in 2026 is a bit démodé, but so am I.
RevEng3 — The company behind all of this.
Before
I grew from pentesting and sysadmin to security architecture and CISO roles across banking, telecom, automotive, and maritime. Then, I chose to come back. Turns out I'm the guy who breaks things to make them work better, and that's hard to do from a boardroom.
No problem is stupid enough to deserve a standard solution.
Reading
From Milton's Paradise Lost to Borges, from Hofstadter to criminal histories of organised religion. If it challenges how you think, it's on my shelf.
