About
I'm Hackshiz — a cybersecurity enthusiast and builder based in Colorado.
I got into computers the way most people do: curiosity that wouldn't quit. That turned into a homelab, which turned into a custom AI agent, which turned into realizing I wanted to spend my time understanding how systems work — and how they break.
Right now I'm focused on building out local AI infrastructure, running security labs on my homelab, and getting deeper into Linux and networking. I believe the best way to learn security is to build real things and document what happens.
This site is where I keep track of what I'm working on — projects, writeups, and notes from the lab.
