Eighteen Years of Curiosity, Code, and Conviction

    On December 26, 2008, this blog began with a simple cybersecurity observation. What followed was never planned — it simply unfolded.

    The early years were rooted in the cybersecurity domain: Nmap scans, BackTrack, Kali Linux, learning how systems break so they can be made stronger. Somewhere around 2015, curiosity pulled me into blockchain, a shift that reshaped how I thought about trust, decentralization, and systems at scale. That path led to a PhD in 2022, and since then the journey has only deepened into post-quantum blockchains, AI, post-quantum cryptography, and quantum technologies.

    This blog now 800+ posts, 1.38M+ hits, across 18 years is almost entirely technical. It is a record of what I have seen, learned, questioned, failed at, and understood, often thanks to others, always shared back with the same intent.

    It hasn’t come without cost. Time that could have been spent more with my wife, my daughter, my home often went into reading, writing, experimenting. But passion is a kind of madness, and I’ve been deep in it. No regrets only awareness.

    Looking back, this space is not just a blog. It is a timeline of evolving technologies, changing mindsets, and sustained curiosity. And as the landscape shifts toward quantum and beyond, the journey feels as exciting as it did on day one.

    So here’s to December 26, 2008 → December 26, 2025.

Still learning. Still sharing. Still curious.
