  Security Vulnerability Research & Bug Bounty

  While at my second year of high school, I started participating in the bug bounty / vulnerability disclosure programs of a wide range of companies. Most notably I spent 2 years exclusively researching Google products & services. During my time as a "bug bounty hunter" I found multiple impactful vulnerabilities, some of which I shared in my blog & in my YouTube videos. My most impactful finding to date was a lock screen bypass vulnerability in Android, which received a reward of $70,000.

  Avatao

  Jun 2021 - Oct 2022

  Avatao was the place where I first experienced what it's like to be a software engineer in a tech startup. I consider my time at Avatao as my first "real job" experience. I've learned a lot about working in a team, working with complexity, what it is like to prioritise, and what it is like to have a job, essentially. I worked in a mixture of part-time and full-time, depending on my university studies. Most importantly, I learned to appreciate & respect the engineering process of finding clean, nice and elegant solutions to complex problems. Show less
