How I would do auth

Hi! I'm a university student in Japan interested in application security.
I maintain various open source libraries in the JavaScript ecosystem, mostly around authentication and cryptography. I really enjoy building stuff from scratch and re-inventing the wheel, learning all the little details along the way. I also really enjoy designing library APIs
Aside from programming, my hobbies include cooking, drawing, and playing games.
You can find me on Twitter, GitHub, and BlueSky. You can also email me at [email protected].
