i started doing bug bounty at 14, taking apart one of the largest russian web-hosting providers. shortly after, i shipped my first website — and the very next day found a critical vulnerability sitting in it.
that one morning showed me, quietly, how broken frontends really are. i've been building toward fixing it ever since — a full-time product meant to end the problem of vulnerable frontends for good.
before this, i wasted months on a startup nobody wanted. i read more than i executed, talked to 25+ students, learned that compliments are useless, and finally internalized the only rule that mattered: validation before code. best lesson i could've gotten.
now
building a tool that catches frontend vulnerabilities before they ever reach production. talking to engineers who've been burned by one. shipping in public.
writing
i keep a small collection of essays on building, breaking, and the in-between.
