Who am I

I build software and I break it.

I'm Georgios Stavropoulos, a security researcher and developer. Most teams keep building and breaking in separate departments; I do both, and each makes the other better.

As a researcher I analyse fleets and networks for weak points and build the tooling to monitor them. As an indie developer I design, ship and maintain my own iOS and macOS apps. Clients get both perspectives: software that is pleasant to use, built by someone who knows how it will be attacked.
