Exploring the frontiers of Cloud, AI, and Quantum Computing
Protecting innovation at every step.
Hey there! I'm Charlemagne, also known as 0xCD, a Silicon Valley native whose thirst for knowledge sparked an early love for technology—exploring the internet like a limitless library and modding video games just for fun. Little did I know, those playful explorations would ignite a lifelong passion.
Fast-forward to today, as a cybersecurity enthusiast, I'm deeply focused on securing groundbreaking technologies like Cloud, AI, and Quantum Computing. My goal might sound simple, yet it's very complex: bridging the intricate gap between innovation and security to protect not just digital systems, but human lives as well.
This portfolio is my personal diary—a place to share my journey, projects, and thoughts, and to help others who are as fascinated by this rapidly evolving digital landscape as I am. Welcome to my journey, and happy hacking!
