I won my first capture-the-flag at twelve — HackTheBox, well past midnight — and I've been hooked on taking systems apart ever since. The name cursorboy is left over from that era.

These days I point the same instinct at building: an iMessage AI that remembers everything you watch, a neural net that reads media bias, an arcade where frontier models fight. I like turning rough ideas into things people can actually use.

I'm at my best in client-facing rooms — hearing what someone actually needs, sitting with them, and turning it into something real.

I care about motion that means something, interfaces you can feel, and the small secret details that reward people for paying attention. A few are hiding on this page.
