It starts, as most things do, with a keyboard and too much curiosity. I got into security by looking at systems I used every day and asking why they trusted what they did — analyzing network traffic, questioning default configurations, and seeing how fragile our foundations can be.
"Security isn't a feature you patch on later; it's the foundation you lay from day one."
Finding vulnerabilities is only half the equation; the real craft is building defenses that endure. That obsession drives me to design perimeterless architectures and secure APIs built to stay standing when compromised.
