about
my name is matthew nanas --- i am a self taught computer dude who fell into this rabbithole in fourth grade. back then i started with simple websites. my curiousity led me to learn python and dabble in cybersecurity. i remember installing my first kali linux vm in middle school and jumping on the platform hackthebox where i ranked pretty well (at least in my eyes). for some time throughout high school, i freelanced working on sneaker and nft bots where i managed to contribute to some of the most coveted software within the scene (have now left to pursue other stuff). blah blah blah, let's just talk
