Amped is the name I use for my public security work. I'm a software developer first, which is probably why I approach security by building small tools, reproducing behavior, and tracing the system instead of only running scanners.
How I got here
Started from software: APIs, web apps, automation, backends.
Got more interested in what happens at the boundaries: HTTP, auth, routing, caching, network behavior.
Turned repeated manual checks into focused CLI tools and monitoring projects.
Now building a public workflow around evidence, disclosure, and reproducible write-ups.
Most projects start because I'm doing the same thing twice and decide it should become a tool. The stack changes; the preference for direct control and inspectable output doesn't.
The goal isn't to look like a hacker. It's to leave behind code, evidence, and write-ups that make it obvious I understand what I built and what I tested.
