I discovered my love for technology at an early age. Taking apart datapads, learning the functionality of basic system-level code, creating my own operating system, expanding on application processing. I've done just about everything related to computers at some point or another in my life.

The height of my career was when my signature compression format was chosen as the standard for use in HoloNet transmissions of mid-security data. The royalties were piling in and life was great! That is, until I was accused of leaving a backdoor in the format and it all came crashing down around me.

After an accusation like that, it really becomes impossible to get a job in corporate HoloNet security or support...so I decided to go underground. Hilariously, though I hadn't actually left a backdoor in my format intentionally, when others attempted to fix the "breach" they left a much bigger one...one that I quickly discovered and exploited. I now have the ability to piggyback just about any HoloNet transmission given enough time and resources...resources that only the underworld can really give.

Technical Business Interests:

While it would be nice to clear my name and get back into the legal sphere, I know that it would be basically impossible at this point. Instead, I choose to operate outside the law and peddle my name and skills to the highest of buyers. My reputation in the underworld is crucial to me and I will do just about anything to ensure that my abilities are never brought into question.

Obsession: HoloNet

I have an absolutely unhealthy obsession with everything relating to how the HoloNet runs. Given any opportunity I will use my knowledge of backdoors and the DarkNet to accomplish my goals.
