manbug Hi pal! I'm a 20 year old cyber security student building full stack web applications & cloud solutions.
My professional experience is primarily web-oriented contract work with start-ups like Leap Brands . In these roles, I collaborate with leadership, engineers, and end-users to plan, design, and deliver impactful internal tools, public-facing web applications, and infrastructure.
Outside of work, I learn as much as I can about network security, application security, and penetration testing. I like to tinker with low-level languages like Zig and mid-level languages like Go.
Biases:
I am not currently looking for new opportunities.
Shodex is an open source tool bundling Shodan and NIST NVD APIs to identify public, internet-facing devices and correlate associated CVEs, designed to assist penetration testers and auditors.
Shodex is pre-release! If you want early access (without self hosting), email me!

Graphic Design Intern
Nov 2023 - Dec 2023
At Leap Brands, I started out designing one-pager PDFs and making Figma designs for their marketing website before my role quickly expanded to architecting their entire web infrastructure.
I restructured fragmented applications into a monorepo with proper database schemas and type-safe APIs, which significantly reduced production downtime. By implementing IaC (AWS CDK) and CI/CD workflows (Github Actions), we could deploy confidently and iterate faster.
Working closely with our CGO Chaz Cervino and members of the recruiting, marketing, and business development teams, I designed and implemented solutions that accelerated business operations.
As our development team grew, we continued our work building a unified platform integrating ATS, CMS, and CRM capabilities serving multiple departments, with my role spanning both hands-on development and technical direction.
This approach gave the company complete ownership of their data and workflows, while eliminating excessive spend on multiple third-party SaaS products.
