About Me
// Building secure systems and breaking them.
Hi, my name is Travis. I've been programming for over a decade, starting with basic scripting languages and growing into modern software development across a range of technologies. I work as a cybersecurity consultant specialising in offensive security across the APAC region, helping clients implement practical security solutions.
I regularly take part in Capture The Flag competitions and hackathons. They're a good way to blend hands-on technical work with a competitive edge, and they often push me to approach problems in new ways.
This website showcases some of my side projects (at least the ones I'm happy to put my name on). Each one is a chance to explore new technologies, experiment with ideas, and build something interesting.
