About Me

My name is Daniel, and I am a graduate cybersecurity researcher, programmer, and Linux enthusiast. My goal is to channel my passion for computers and security into making the internet safer for everyone. Part of the NSERC CREATE Cybersecurity program, my work combines programming, cryptography, system design, and threat modeling to tackle real-world security challenges.

I’m passionate about minimalist design. This website is part of the 1mb club, jsfree.org, and built with Zona, a tool I wrote myself. I’m also interested in efficiency and optimization, which is why I use Neovim for all of my programming & writing, and I prefer typing in Colemak-DH on a custom layout.

I will publish blog posts about various technology topics on this website once I have implemented the necessary features in Zona. In the meantime, you can learn more about me below. I hope you enjoy your stay, and you are welcome to contact me anytime.

Note: I prefer to keep my LinkedIn presence fairly minimal since I see it as a security vulnerability. Thus, I much prefer to be contacted by e-mail.
