DarkBytes Engineering Handbook

Welcome

This website is a living compilation of notes, concepts, and guides. These materials helped me build better software over many years. The content blends foundational ideas with practical playbooks.

About Me

I am a software architect with industry experience since 2009. I design and deliver large scale distributed systems. My work spans tech, government, semiconductors, and medical devices. I study new methods for software that stays maintainable, scalable, and flexible. Most of my recent work sits in Security Engineering, where security and software meet. I have taught university classes in Programming, Operating Systems, Applied Cryptography, Mathematical Cryptography, and Application Security.
