I'm creating a hacker for a game my brother wants to run. This will be our first time playing Shadowrun since '01, so we're both a bit rusty. I especially need my math checked for this character since I'm fairly certain my purchases are off, but I can't find anything in the rules to contradict what I purchased. (I may just not be looking hard enough).
Name: Denerik McCallister
Alias: "FoS"
Age: 26
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 180lbs
History: A wiz kid socialite from Boston. Only child of a NeoNET upper management father and a mother from their advertising department. He lived a fairly sheltered life due to his allergy to sunlight. He spent most of his time learning about the matrix, coding, and making simple hacks.
Denerik inherited a fortune when his parents died of "natural complications" during a biotech procedure when he was 22. Denerik spends his days as a freelance matrix security consultant and his nights cruising VIP lounges or running the shadows as Matrix overview under the handle "FoS." He has a particular (and understandable) interest in runs against NeoNET and their subsidies. He just had a Control Rig installed in the hopes that he expand his matrix skills into being a true spider, providing not only electronic protection, but robotic as well.
Denerik's been living a double life for nearly a decade. He started by rubbing elbows with street gangers and romanticizing runners. Slowly he progressed into data steals and confidence games. After the death of his parents he vowed to become a runner and insisted on uncovering the truth about his parent's death. Denerik is convinced NeoNET is involved in some sort of cover up, but hasn't uncovered this truth... yet. Also after their death he started loosing himself inside the nearest wine bottle but is usually able to play off his budding alcoholism as being a 'connoisseur' of fine wines.

If my calculations are wrong on the money spent I can always drop the MathSPU, Fibreoptic Hair, Thermal Damping, and fake SINs. Even the Control Rig can go if need be (especially since I haven't bought the rigger skills yet).
