About

I'm Gowtham Naidu Ponnana, a 20y/o Security Researcher and Smart Contract Auditor based out of Andra Pradesh, India. I help companies to strengthen their Security and protect themself from cyberattacks by conducting a Full Web Assessment and also now starting out on Smart Contract Security. Worked with various Top Crypto-Platforms such as CoinDCX, Wazirx, CoinFLEX, CoinEX, Coinsbit, The Graph protocol, Illuvium, Immunefi, and more than 20+ platforms. I've been in this field since I was 13 and it's been a journey with a combination of Ups and Downs'. A few Years Back, I hacked into my Professors' Account and got access to all personal/sensitive data. After knowing this, I reported to him legally and got applauded for my work. Now, Years down the line, I am securing companies that are worth millions of dollars from major Security Issues. I genuinely tried my hands in other parts of tech such as Coding, Editing, and UI/UX designing but none of them motivated me. Since childhood, I had a curiosity about "How Technology works" and eventually ended up Exploiting them. I fell in love with this stuff more than my academics but that’s also important so yeah learned to manage my time as well. Besides Professional work, I love to talk with people and love to travel to new places. Reading Non-Fiction Books not only helps me to gain knowledge but also helps me to develop a character. But still🙃 I love to read Fictitious Books and Especially books of Chetan Bhagat😅. Anything else? Yeah, This is enough I guess and let's wrap it up here 🙂🔥 DM Me or Cold Mail Me if you ever feel like talking with me will help you. https://expy.bio/Gowtham_Ponnana Other Social Media Profiles: 💹Instagram ~ @gowtham_ponnana 💹Twitter ~ @gowtham_ponnana 💹Linkedin ~ @Gowtham-Ponnana 💹Medium ~ @gowtham-naidu
