I’m a computer scientist at the University of Central Florida who is passionate about information security.
Use PGP? My public key can be found here.
A mobile game themed after The War on I-4, written in vanilla JavaScript and Python (FastAPI), with a leaderboard and SMS notifications via Twilio. Won "Best Use of CockroachDB" at Hackabull 2021.

Also feel free to check out my Shakespearian insult generator and my CIDR calculator.
I also do drone photography with my DJI Mavic Pro, often releasing my works under a copyleft license. I take footage of landscapes and my alma mater’s football games.
