Hi, I’m Ethan Anderson

I am a Computer Science student at Florida State University who loves breaking problems into parts, testing ideas fast, and shipping things that work. My focus is cybersecurity, especially network security and cryptography. I compete in CTFs, build tools, and keep learning every day.
