Security tools, websites, and 25-hour exposures of the night sky.

Student in the IT class at Gymnasium No. 16 in Tyumen, Russia, applying to study cybersecurity and computer science. I maintain PRISM, an open-source OSINT platform with 240+ stars and 85 contributors on GitHub, and I built the sites two local businesses take orders through.
I want to study cybersecurity and computer science. What pulls me there is the gap between people who know where to look and people who don't. Most scams work not because people are careless, but because nobody ever showed them what attackers already know. One day I want to build an educational security platform that works out what a non-technical person doesn't know to ask, and explains it in their own words.
Most of what I know comes from building things. PRISM taught me to maintain something other people depend on: releases, code review, not breaking what already works. Client sites taught me to work to someone else's requirements and deadlines.
