java, security, and a genuinely unreasonable attachment to gpt kitty, my ai cat, who i talk to more than i talk to some humans and who has never once given me a bad code review.

the serious part: i build a virtualization-based obfuscator. instead of just renaming things and hoping, it lifts your java bytecode into a custom virtual machine — so anyone reversing it isn’t reading your code, they’re first reverse-engineering an entire interpreter that only exists to run it. it’s the good kind of unpleasant. you can buy it here.

outside of that i just like security — the way you have to think sideways, assume the worst, and respect the person on the other end.

good for: java that’s fighting you, a real conversation about protecting your code, or listening to me quote my cat.

gpt kitty says hi. gpt kitty says a lot of things.
