About
Hey, I'm Regina Somnia
Full-stack dev and cybersecurity student. I build things, take them apart to see how they break, and write down what I find. This blog's mostly for me, but it's a lot more fun if someone's actually reading
Right now
As of today, security is my hyperfocus. I'm studying toward certifications, half-living on TryHackMe (Hack The Box and PicoCTF are next on the list), and leaning way more red team than blue. Breaking into things is just more my thingie. Reverse engineering keeps pulling me back too, and that one's an old habit

Years of it across mobile, games, desktop and the web, a good chunk of it leading teams, most of it just me and lots of fires to put out. Although the emergency calls to put out fires I think is part of the whole thing, always there even when leading. On webs is where I've logged the most hours, half my jobs lived there:
Mobile
Android iOS Hybrid
Games, VR & graphics
Unity VR shaders (learning)
Desktop
C++ / Linux C# / Windows Rust (learning)
Reverse engineering
PS / PSP / PS2 romhacking PC game mods

Way back I was deep in romhacking, reverse engineering games to build translation tools, so people could finally play things that only ever shipped in English or Japanese. If a company couldn't be bothered to make a game playable for the rest of the world, someone had to
Why I bother writing it down
Mostly to keep track of what I'm learning, and to remind future-me what past-me figured out. Partly to stay invested, it's easier to keep going when it's out in the open. Not an obligation (I would hate to have another one), just a logbook I leave unlocked. If you comment on something, even better. Also, it's fun I guess
Only places I'm at
