Gospels

A brief Book of Origins.

Where I come from, what I carry, and the ethos that guides every line of code.

  1. The call

    I build software the way a monk illuminates a manuscript — every detail is on purpose, every margin considered. My work spans full-stack web, games, applied AI, Web3, and security, unified by a single taste: interfaces that feel inevitable.

  2. The discipline

    Currently studying Computer Science at Rhodes College, where I keep a perfect 4.0 major GPA and 3.94 overall. I chase craft the way athletes chase milliseconds.

  3. The rite

    I've shipped a product acquired by another company, won a 48-hour game jam, and volunteered hours of work for local restaurants and schools. Because mastery isn't declared — it's practiced, publicly.

  4. The waters

    Before the keyboard, there were lanes. I swam semi-professionally in Vietnam for years and collected national medals along the way. The pool taught me what I still carry into software: taper, then race.

OWASP Juice Shop — Field Notes

My unedited lab notebook from hacking OWASP Juice Shop — black-box web app pentesting, one hypothesis at a time. No AI solving, no peeking at the source.

Published raw on purpose — the value isn't the answer, it's the reasoning, dead ends and all.
