About
leeky
Ten years in tech, eight of them in information security. I can build full-stack applications and I can break them, and that combination is the whole point. Fuzzing, tooling, and AI are where I spend my time.
Most of what I publish here comes out of the same loop: build a system, learn where its assumptions leak, then build the thing that finds those leaks automatically. The web3 scanner exists because I have written the kind of contract it audits. The PR review pipeline exists because manual review does not survive contact with a thousand repositories.
I am looking for large scope, real autonomy, a fast environment, and leadership that actually wants to invest in AI.
