In the last couple of years I was blessed with a good job at application security that made my life much easier. Above all things, I now have more opportunities to help others and provide my family and friends with small things that makes a lot of difference. Sometimes just being happy that day will contribute to the ones that surround you with a smile in their faces. It’s contagious 🙂
Last Sunday I received a warm hug from the lady who runs the animal local shelter. I delivered some food to feed their more than 400 cats and dogs – they really needed. That hug and sincere eyes of the lady made my week. I thought to my self – It’s just a little help but if everyone helps a little, the world will be a better place right?
In the past I tweeted that when I reached 3k reputation points at Cobalt.io I would donate $500 USD to a open-source security project. I got to that goal and donated to sqlmap project. Cobalt helped me on this and had more $500. 1k to a project that is maintained by only two developers. One of the replies I got from this was that I was a inspiration… That’s one of my life goals. To inspire more people to application security and to GIVE to others that need or deserve.
I really love what I do. Hacking is in my blood and without it I would be incomplete.
I have more than 10 years experience in application security and I’m still learning every single day. The day that I’ll stop learning I’ll quit for good.
