Various Docs

Someone asked me why I took down my /fun page since they were entertained. Honestly, my reason was that as an almost-to-be grad, I didn't want to be typecast as a student, even if I'll always figuratively see myself as a student of something. I think my mention of college and pre-college comes across the same way as a high school student talking about elementary school spelling bees.

I'm glad my humor makes me approachable, but I also want to be taken seriously as a person with legitimate technical skills and legitimate opinions. Please also know that my in-person self is the most reflective of my present. Thank you!

Games I Made

  • Town of Turing: Jesters pretending to be chatbots and chatbots pretending to be human, oh my! 3+ players, or open a few tabs and be someone for each tab.
  • $500,000 bounty for scratch.mit.edu account #1
  • $100,000,000 bounty for the unshared projects on scratch.mit.edu account #1
  • $100,000 for other odd stuff if they haven't been deleted from my family-shared computer in Washington state

Systems and Security

  • Various writeups, college and pre-college: I used to play Capture the Flag (CTF) security competitions, specializing in pwn (binary exploitation) and reversing, sometimes solving crypto (crypto in the sense of cryptography, before the web3/Ethereum/cryptocurrency people claimed the term). I became specialized in really specific vulnerabilities for really specific versions of a really specific piece of software and wanted to broaden my horizons. My prior interests in pwn and reversing led to a systems concentration in college, after which I discovered yet more interests.
