Yousuf Ahmed — Co-Founder

I am a 20-year-old cybersecurity professional with a dedicated focus on offensive security, vulnerability research, and red teaming. Currently engaged as a Junior Security Researcher at Bugcrowd, I specialize in identifying critical vulnerabilities and securing digital infrastructure before threat actors can exploit them. My methodology is heavily rooted in practical, hands-on application, driven by a deep technical understanding of network architecture, web application hacking, and Python-based automation. My offensive capabilities have been validated globally through high-stakes vulnerability disclosure programs, earning me recognized spots in the NASA, US Postal Regulatory Commission, and NFL VDP Halls of Fame. I continuously stress-test my skills in highly competitive, real-world environments, securing 9th place at the BlackHat US CTF 2025 and ranking in the top 1% globally in PicoCTF. Additionally, I actively maintain a top 2% ranking on TryHackMe across more than 150 completed rooms, demonstrating a persistent commitment to advanced threat emulation and continuous skill development. This practical expertise is anchored by a rigorous foundation of industry certifications, including the Certified Red Team Analyst (CRTA), ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity (CC), and Blue Team Fundamentals (BTF). Supported by comprehensive programming and network engineering credentials from Cisco, TCM Security, and Harvard University, I bring a highly technical and well-rounded perspective to complex security challenges. Whether executing targeted exploit chains or mapping out critical infrastructure risks, my objective is to deliver clear, actionable intelligence that definitively hardens organizational defenses.
