Who writes here

I'm m4nt0de4 — an R&D manager in industrial cybersecurity, based in the Basque Country.

My work sits between two things that rarely share a room: offensive security, and the standards that decide whether a device is safe to ship. Evaluation procedures and regulatory frameworks by day; taking things apart to understand how they actually break, the rest of the time.

I write here about what I build — mostly a personal AI infrastructure I've been developing for two years — and about what I learn when it fails, which is more often and more useful than when it works.

Written with Mirai, my personal AI, as an occasional co-author. When her voice appears, it is typeset distinctly.
