So proud to have achieved the highest coverage in @symbioticfi audit competition at @sherlockdefi and got 2nd place. This was my first contest after 7 months of doing only private audits, so I pushed hard to finish near the top. It feels good when hard work pays off. Thanks to Sherlock for hosting and wishing Symbiotic a safe and successful launch of Relay.

Is this a sign? 🤔

doubling down on this : if you want to shine, focus on one single thing.

these days about 1 year ago, i was taking my first steps into the blockchain security space with no serious tech background. spending unfathomable amounts of hours every day studying and competing on public audit platforms like @sherlockdefi and @cantinaxyz, i was sacrificing everything just to break into the space and leave a mark. looking back now, i can see the ton of lessons i’ve learned: - you can completely change your life in 1 year if you’re willing to do the.. really.. hard work. - most people here are hobbyists and don’t compete to win and that’s why a lot of auditors come and go. - finding an impact and a reason to work is a stronger incentive than money (we’re all here trying to make crypto work after all). - stacking up knowledge that you can’t monetise yet can still be insanely valuable if you’re playing the long game. and if we want to talk numbers, a guy like me was able to win 2 public audit competitions, generate close to 6-figure $$$ income, uncover more than 80 H/M bugs and perform ~45 security audits. not bad for a first year. back to the present, i am hungrier than ever. grinding with @PashovAuditGrp, chasing bugs, and working closely to secure some of the highest TVL protocols out there. here for years to come, building relationships that will last in a space that's going to change how humanity interacts financially. big thanks to everyone who believed in me early. lfg.

finding an M on @real_philogy 's code after a @SpearbitDAO audit.. was tough ngl. the codebase of @angstromxyz is absolutely a masterpiece and they were moments I was reading it and thinking "damn, how they did even come up with this". So elegant and slick, I suggest every dev/auditor to study it for sure. thanks @cantinaxyz and @SorellaLabs for this opportunity.

1st place on @usualmoney competition at @sherlockdefi . Auditing a protocol that holds almost half a billion is a big responsibility and it feels good knowing I found both of the High severity bugs in the report. December will be 🔥 for sure.

Uncovered 5 highs and 4 mediums and got 6th place on @zerolendxyz audit contest at @sherlockdefi .

September was a busy month, but I found time to participate in the @FlayerApp contest hosted by @sherlockdefi and secured 6th place. I really enjoyed auditing this novel protocol with its interesting mechanisms and innovations and I wish them the best. Thanks to @sherlockdefi for the opportunity! Things are, just, starting to pick up on my end, so expect more progress and updates coming!😉

Mitigation reviews ensure no new bugs are introduced when fixing vulnerabilities from the main audit. They are essential for protocols aiming to maximize security and it is a win-win for both auditors and the protocol. Proud to contribute further to @FolksFinance ‘s security, achieving second place 🥈 in their Mitigation Audit with @immunefi .

Seems cool, doesn’t it? @immunefi

Thrilled to share my first victory in a competitive audit on @immunefi 🏆 What makes me more proud is that it came with a solo critical finding on the robust codebase of @FolksFinance . It was an honor auditing and securing their lending protocol and I wish them all the best. Behind this win, there are countless 4am wake-ups, 13-hour workdays and sacrifices. It's amazing how you can change your life in 6 months, if you focus and put in the work. That said, this is just the start of my journey, and I’m committed to pushing even further, achieving new milestones, and continuing to grow on web3 space. Thanks to @immunefi and @FolksFinance for the opportunity!

I should have considered submitting that medium on the middle later...🤣 In any case, it feels good getting so close on @immunefi confirmed rainbow.
