👋 About Me

Hey, I’m Chip — a tech enthusiast, security tinkerer, nostalgic game-patch creator, reverse engineer, programmer, and all-around tech explorer.
I spend my time breaking things (ethically) to understand them, restoring old Windows titles, writing DLL wrappers, and diving deep into system-level programming.
I love learning — the harder and more impossible a problem looks, the more I want to solve it.

⚡ Core Focus

Reverse Engineering · Offensive & Defensive Security · Systems Programming · Hardware & Software Tooling

Exploring systems from silicon to software — building tools, breaking barriers, and defending what matters.

🧠 What I Do

• Reverse engineering & low-level debugging
• DirectX (D3D8/9) compatibility wrappers — I write game-specific patches on top of existing D3D wrappers, and I’ve also implemented my own DInput8 and other wrapper DLLs.
• Memory trainers & pointer-chain tools
• Steganography, cryptography & CTF challenges — I build CTFs and a few custom stego tools of my own
• Cyber security, security forensics & ethical hacking — including crash diagnostics and deep debugging work to uncover why certain games or programs fail to run correctly
• Building inclusive tech spaces like ByteMatrix & FixEnhancers
• Developing tools, software, and hardware that simply get the job done
• Former fully qualified electrician with a Diploma in Installing Electrotechnical Systems and Equipment (BSE), who specialised in advanced fault diagnosis, complex control wiring, data cabling, and certification — that hands-on analytical work still shapes how I approach code and systems today
• Experimenting with Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and automation projects — Pi-holes, IoT, and other fun setups
• Exploring Unreal, Godot, Blender, Photoshop, and DaVinci Resolve — making mods and creative content for YouTube or TikTok

“A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.”

🌐 Projects

• Write-ups — challenges, labs, Reverse Engineering, Security, OS setup guides and more.
• GitHub — full source repositories

💡 Philosophy

“Breaking things to understand them.”

Curiosity is the core of progress — every bug, crash, and hex dump is an opportunity to learn something new.

Nothing is impossible… it’s more a question of how long it will take to break it.

I’m passionate about creating tech spaces that value different ways of thinking — neurodivergent minds often see systems and patterns others miss.

🧭 Values

• Curiosity drives mastery
• Ethics above shortcuts
• Clarity over complexity
• Learn, teach, and give back to the community

🕹️ Fun Fact

I still love debugging early-2000s PC games just to bring them back to life — there’s something magical about watching old code run perfectly on modern hardware.

_{Focused on understanding systems from the ground up — from assembly to APIs, from binaries to behavior.}
