- Started hacking, to afford a better laptop for YouTube videos in college 1st year.
- Had over 30 backlogs ( I didn't even know , you could've that much :))
- First bounty: €250 on a fluke WordPress CORS bug, felt his knees go weak seeing the payout email.
- Uses 𝐧𝐨 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, just Burp, browser, and human intuition.
- “If you’re not first, you’re last” : Speed matters in live hacking events.
- Community collaboration is a force multiplier
- Worked as a pentester, saved up for a year expenses before jumping full-time into bug bounties.
