About me

My name is James Maweu and I go online by the handle 9h4wk.
I'm a technology enthusiast and university student with a soft spot for security. My interest in tech was kindled early - I got hooked on the way operating systems, networks and compilers quietly fit together - and it has grown into a habit of taking things apart to see how they work, occasionally breaking them, then writing down what I learned.
My focus area is cybersecurity (both offensive and defensive), but you'll find me writing about anything in the wider tech stack: programming, infrastructure, AI and the tools in between.

About the blog

This site is my tech notebook and my public portfolio. It is where I document projects, dissect the tools I use, research topics in depth and share anything I think might help someone else along the way. Security is my home turf, but the blog deliberately covers technology as a whole - write-ups, tool lists, experiments and opinion.

Writing here keeps my technical communication sharp and gives me a public record of what I learn, which is exactly what I want recruiters and collaborators to find.

The goals here are to:

  • Document what I learn.
  • Share knowledge that might help others.
  • Build a track record of hands-on work across the tech stack.
