Hello Hackers! 👋

I hope you all are doing well! 😄 Today, I want to share my personal journey how a small village boy became recognized by well-reputed companies and government organizations, and even featured in the newspaper Voice of Day, Gujarat. 📰✨

My Journey 🚀

At the age of 17, I got my first smartphone after finishing 12th grade. Before that, my knowledge about technology was minimal I only used old Nokia and Intex phones to browse Google or download songs. Internet charges were ₹20 for just 30 MB per month! 💸

One day, I watched a YouTube video about Ethical Hacking. I had always thought hacking was illegal, but learning that ethical hackers help companies and governments protect themselves fascinated me. 🛡️💻

Though eager, I lacked foundational knowledge. I had completed one year of a Bachelor of Commerce degree when COVID-19 hit in 2020. 😷🏠

The Golden Opportunity 🌟

I didn’t have a computer, but one day, my childhood school teacher asked me to fix a computer issue. After solving it, I was granted access to the school’s Wi-Fi and computers a golden chance! 🙏

I dedicated myself to learning computer fundamentals, Linux, networking, and programming. I started with Python to create my first tools and programs. A full year of focused learning transformed my skills.

By the time I finished my degree, I was ready to dive into ethical hacking, cybersecurity, web security, and application security. Later, I pursued an MCA degree while earning income through bug bounties. 💰

Achievements & Recognition 🏆

At 20, I earned my first ₹5000 from Upstox an unforgettable moment! 🌕 Since then, I have worked on numerous bug bounties, collaborating with NASA, Apple, Mercedes, the Dutch government, Government of India, HostGator, Upstox, and more.

By 22, I was featured in Voice of Day, Gujarat. My village, Karmal Pipaliya, and my family felt immense pride. I also began delivering lectures on ethical hacking and cybersecurity at my MCA college, inspiring the next generation. 🎓💡

Gratitude 🙏

I want to thank:

  • My best friend K3$#!V@ ❤️
  • Bug Bounty
  • My family and friends
  • The Biggest Hacker Shiva 🕉️ for being my inspiration and support

Advice 💡

To anyone reading this: don’t lose hope. Work hard and smart, trust God, and success will follow. 🌟

I hope my journey motivates you to chase your dreams. 🚀

Thank You,
