Fun facts
- I started coding at 12 by writing hacked clients for Minecraft. Breaking games, and the anti-cheat systems built to stop me, was my first education in security.
- At 14 I ran a compute cluster at home, inside a 48U server rack I picked up from one of Vienna's best-known nightclubs. Getting it home was awkward. Getting it into the flat took two days, because it couldn't be taken apart.
- I raided with top guilds in World of Warcraft Classic: 40 people, one voice channel, no margin for error.
