I’m Melano. This is where I document my journey through cybersecurity, DevOps, and low-level programming. You can browse my notes on the left, explore the connection graph on the right, or search the entire site with ⌘+K.

All notes evolve through three stages:

  • Proto: raw ideas
  • Alpha: partial implementations
  • Stable: mature, well-understood knowledge — refined, reliable, and often referenced

I’m currently working through CSES Handbook a practical guide for competitive programming. My goal right now is understanding the fundamental research and dive deeper into the rabbit holes that interests me.
