I build software, then I try to break it before anyone else does. Developer and security researcher. Founder of a hardware company. Still in school.
SEE THE WORKI am a 15 year old self taught developer from Bergen, Norway. I have been writing code for around 5 years. Full stack work, security, and lately a lot of electronics.
I like building things that are actually used, then making sure they do not fall over when someone pokes at them. Quiet work, real output, no noise.
This is a selected list. There is a lot more not shown here, plus things still being built.
I find flaws and report them quietly. Then they get fixed before anyone hears about it.
I have spent around 2 years on practical security work. Penetration testing, source review, and responsible disclosure to both private companies and public sector organisations.
The process is always the same. Find the issue, write it up clearly, hand it over privately, and stay quiet until it is patched. Several of the fixes I suggested are running in production today.
No names, no proof of concept dumps, no drama. The point is a safer web, not a trophy wall.

— PHILLIP, TO ROUGHLY EVERYONEBeing good at this does not mean being fine all the time. I talk about mental health openly because pretending otherwise helped no one, least of all me.
Tech has a habit of rewarding people who never stop and never admit they are struggling. I think that is broken. Asking for help is not weakness, it is maintenance.
If you are young, online, and feel like you have to be a machine to matter here, you do not. You can build serious things and still be a person. Both at once.
