about_me

haii ♡ i'm Ame, but most places online you'll know me as ra1ncandy ~ self-taught dev who fell down the rabbit hole of breaking things apart just to see how they tick.

i spend my days somewhere between cybersecurity, machine learning, and game development — building little homelabs to pentest, training models on messy data, and crafting tools, scripts, and games that probably didn't need to exist but were really fun to make (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)

off-screen i'm usually deep in a light novel or manga, watching anime, playing chess, or just touching grass and vibing with nature ✿ i also love visual novels, graphic design, and chasing CTF flags — forensics and crypto puzzles are my favourite kind of chaos.
