Summary

I have been passionate about cybersecurity since I was 14, inspired by movies. I began with online courses and excelled in my first Junior CTF challenge, securing 2nd place among over 30,000 participants. As a bug bounty hunter, I've identified various vulnerabilities like XSS, CSRF, and RCE. Completing over 200 rooms on TryHackMe, I ranked in the top 1%. I have also completed job simulations at JP Morgan Chase & Co. and AIG, gaining practical skills in application security, data analysis, and threat remediation.
