My Journey

From curiosity to conviction.

Not a résumé. A story about why cybersecurity matters — and why I decided to build, not just break.

My journey into cybersecurity started with curiosity.

I wasn't interested in simply using technology — I wanted to understand how it worked, how it could fail, and how it could be made more secure.

As I explored web applications, APIs, and modern software, every vulnerability I discovered became another lesson in protecting businesses and users.

Over time, I realized finding vulnerabilities alone wasn't enough. I wanted to create solutions. I wanted to build products. I wanted to create opportunities for aspiring security researchers.

That vision became the foundation of everything I built — SNOVA Technologies, BugSpace, and HackTheDisk.

Today my mission remains the same: build technology that makes the internet safer while helping the next generation of cybersecurity professionals grow.

"

I don't want to simply discover vulnerabilities.
I want to build products that make organizations more secure.
