About Me
Hi — I'm a hobbyist programmer and tech enthusiast from Poland. I picked up coding at age 9 out of pure curiosity, and it turned into an obsession.
I learn by building — if I don't understand something, I take it apart and build my own version. My projects span web development, automation, cybersecurity, self-hosted infrastructure, local AI, and software experimentation — often starting as small ideas and growing into fully functional tools.
Most of my work is open source and lives on GitHub where repositories have accumulated over 200 stars. My projects have even garnered attention from security researchers at Zscaler ↗ and SecurityBoulevard ↗. Additionally, several of my repositories have been preserved in the GitHub Arctic Code Vault ↗.
I maintain a homelab using an HP Prodesk 600 G3 SFF, running Proxmox with services like Pi-hole, n8n, MCP servers and more.
In my free time, I actively participate in cybersecurity challenges at TryHackMe ↗, where I'm ranked in the Top 1% globally.
Also, I became a semi-finalist at the Pix Programming Challenge ↗ on "Master" difficulty in 2020.
