What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can keep sharpening my vulnerability research skills, publish strong results, and contribute to real-world exploitation. I want mentorship-level rigor and a path to becoming elite—ideally leading toward Pwn2Own.

I’m an exceptionally passionate Vulnerability Researcher committed to overcoming challenges to deliver high-quality results. I ranked in the top 1% of my college class with consistently achieving perfect scores, and I was among the top 100 participants in the UK's Cyber Discovery Challenge.

I’m a proud member of the Cyber Elite program, and I’ve invested time into developing business concepts and systems independently. My goal is to further hone my skills as a Vulnerability Researcher—becoming one of the elite in the industry and taking part in prestigious events such as Pwn2Own.

Professionally, I’ve worked across telecommunications penetration testing and vulnerability research, including web application and infrastructure testing. I build research workflows around emulators, low-level proxying tools, fuzzing (including proprietary fuzzers), and turning public CVEs into working PoCs—then I share findings through documentation, demos, and teaching others.
