So without further ado, we are pleased to introduce our new Bugcrowd Ambassadors:

Carlos Santiago has been in offensive security for 8 years. His first contact with hacking was during his second year of college, when he became interested in finding simple flaws in web applications – like IDOR and sensitive data indexed in Google – after taking some programming courses.

Currently, he divides his time between a formal job at a Brazilian payment gateway company and bug bounty hunting. Feel free to check out Kadusantiago’s Twitter here
