About

I'm a passionate cybersecurity researcher who likes to discover hidden security vulnerabilities and come up with ways to protect information that is stored digitally. My work and expertise has led to uncover more than three dozen security vulnerabilities in Facebook systems, including a highly critical 2FA bypass that achieved global recognition in TechCrunch, The Verge, and the Facebook official newsroom. As a top performer of Meta Bug Bounty Program, I have received an invitation to most of the Meta sponsored security conferences including Meta Bounty Con Singapore 2022, MBBRC South Korea 2023, DEFCON USA 2023, MBBRC South Africa 2024, DEFCON USA 2024, Meta Researcher Meet-up London 2024, MBBRC Japan 2025, DEFCON USA 2025 etc. and I had an opportunity to collaborate with Meta security engineers and leading industry renowned security researchers.
