About

Salve, lector

I build. Taking a real problem and turning it into something that stands is what I care about most — everything else here is in service of that. AI, cryptography, security and quantum computing are the tools I reach for, not the point.

Hunting vulnerabilities is the hobby, and I will admit to an appetite for bounties.

The other half of this site is older than any of it. I study languages — Latina, Ἑλληνική, German, French, Russian — and write about philosophy and theology.

The name is meant literally. A thesaurus is not a showcase but a store: the word the Romans used for a treasury and later for a hoard of words and learning. Whatever I work out — in code, in a cipher, or in a language nobody has spoken for fifteen centuries — is put here so that it is not lost. Aedificare and οἰκοδομεῖν say the same thing in two tongues, which is as good a summary of the whole project as I have.

Posts appear in whichever language suits them. Code is on GitHub; I am also on LinkedIn.
