About Me

Daniel

I've been taking things apart and putting them back together since I was a kid. Over the past 7+ years that turned into building PCs, designing circuit boards, writing full-stack apps, and doing security research — all self-taught, all shipped.

I'm based in Malta and I work across the entire stack — from soldering surface-mount components to deploying cloud infrastructure. I care about building things that actually work, documenting them properly, and getting them out the door on time.
