Hi! I’m Alpha.

I am completing my M.Sc. in computer engineering whilst working in computer security.

I like compilers, reverse engineering, vulnerability research, binary exploitation, logic and mathematics. Even to my surprise, I managed to get interested enough in weightlifting to make it a part of my daily life.

I occasionally write about things I’m learning on my blog.
If you’d like to buy me a tea (sorry, I don’t drink coffe) you can drop a donation.

Feel free to reach me out at @imshxdow.
