Experience
Synack Red Team: January 2021 - August 2024
I joined the Synack Red Team in January 2021 after successfully completing their rigorous vetting process, which included application, interview, initial assessments, and onboarding. I passed both the host and web assessments where i was allowed to test both host and web targets on the platform. As a student, Synack has allowed me to generate income in the form of bug bounties, providing a pay-for-skill opportunity. In my spare time, I enjoy hunting for bugs in web applications and conducting penetration testing on their host targets, I particularly enjoy testing internal host as well as web applications in the platform. Additionally, being part of a great community of elite hackers has enabled me to learn from and help other professionals in the field.
