From Curiosity to Cybersecurity
Rojin's journey into cybersecurity began with a simple question: "How do hackers actually break into systems?" This curiosity led her from studying computer engineering at UT Austin to becoming one of the most skilled penetration testers in the industry.
With over 6 years of experience in offensive security, Rojin has helped dozens of organizations discover and fix critical vulnerabilities before malicious actors could exploit them.
