status: online, still tinkering

Tommy
McLoughlin.

Self-taught hak/dev — I've had my hands in computers since I was 8 years old, and thirty-five years later I still spend most nights building tools nobody asked for because they're fun to build. IRC scripting, wireless security, and Windows internals are where I live.

I picked up my first computer at 8 years old and never really put it back down. Thirty-five years later that's turned into a habit of building tools that scratch a very specific itch — an IRC scripting environment that doesn't make you test blind, a way to get proper wireless monitor mode on Windows, a driver backup tool that just works.

Most of what's in this toybox started life as a batch script or a one-off .NET app written to fix something annoying, and got polished up because I couldn't leave it alone. If it lives in a terminal, talks over IRC, or pokes at a wireless card, there's a decent chance I've already built a tool for it — or I'm currently building one.
