Hi,
In the past 5 years I built a 6-figure/year passive solo business operating globally in a hard technical niche, from zero and under pressure of US sanctions.
In the same period: became the first female solo at Pwn2Own, showing a zero-day hypervisor VM escape exploit that I engineered for a popular enterprise virtualization system.
In the same period: reverse-engineered Qualcomm Hexagon basebands low-level debugging circuitry, exploited non-trivial bugs in V8, outlined a probabilistic model of fuzzing, analyzed every wild 0-day exploit, and showed up at industry conferences to present some of that work.
Three years of university training in theoretical physics.
Studied AI foundations from primary sources — papers, textbooks. Published An Engineer's Guide to AI Awakening: the mechanics behind what looks like magic or spirituality. And a research paper: AI Identity and Megapolitics of the Mind. 25K views on the video.
Bought my first seaview home and accidentally built a 100+ plant ecosystem in it, complete with a DIY smart home automation system. That was unexpected.
Off the top of my head. Not a complete record.
People are starting to ask how.
Systems is a big part of the answer.
I build systems for everything. Not always intentionally — like that home jungle that built itself. But mostly intentionally.
Systems absorb work and produce leverage.
Last week I filmed a video on the methodology I've built for vulnerability research over a decade of dedicated practice. The video is being edited now, and will be live on YouTube next Tuesday.
New certification system launched.
Alpha Intelligence is now publicly available.
