I'm not procrastinating, I'm doing side quests
About Me
Get to know me better.
Hello, I'm Jack
I'm a self taught developer based in Ireland. With over 8 years of experience, starting in scratch. I've explored a whole range of applications from game design to cryptography.
I started when I was 9, finding Scratch and making simple games. From there, I moved on to Roblox Studio. I started security when I released my first sword-fighting game that got popular, but it ended up dying because of exploits. From there, I started learning about anti cheats and how to protect my games. Now I focus on security development, malware analysis and bug bounty hunting, working on games like "The Mimic" and doing security for the internal Roblox API.
"To know your enemy, you must become your enemy." — Sun Tzu
I believe in stress testing and having test cases for everything, if it works under load, it'll work in production.
When I'm not coding, I enjoy gaming, reading (usually laughing) about new vulnerabilities found, and being trampled over by my dogs who have endless energy.
