Hi! I’m g1a55er. I am an independent computer security/privacy/policy researcher.

I have worked on basically all layers of the computing stack, including:

• Developing bare-metal firmware for Cortex M0/M4 chips
• Using logic analyzers like Saleae to debug UART/SPI/I2C communications in embedded systems
• Creating apps inside ThreadX/FreeRTOS on Cortex M0/M4 and A5X chips
• Bringing up Embedded Linux and Android for custom hardware on smartphone SoCs
• Validating and troubleshooting WiFi/BLE/BT Classic wireless communications with protocol analyzers (e.g. like those from Teledyne/Frontline)
• Porting complicated embedded systems builds to run remotely on cloud providers for Jenkins-managed CI builds
• Developing mobile apps for Android and iOS
• Crafting custom TCP/Protobuf protocols as well as working with standard TCP/TLS/HTTPS and UDP/QUIC stacks
• Providing network security for the custom protocols with standard cryptographic primitives like ECDH and AES-GCM
• Debugging mobile-backend communications using mitmproxy and Wireshark
• Lovingly crafting old-school web frontends using raw HTTP/JS/CSS (with a hint of JQuery)
• Pairing those frontends with backend services based on the equally classic LAMP stack
