About

I'm Swarnim Bandekar — a security researcher with an offensive focus. I spend most of my time breaking things, understanding how they fail, and writing about it so others can learn.

My work spans across web security, red teaming, penetration testing, and bug bounty hunting. I'm particularly drawn to the intersection of offensive security and web application security — whether that's tearing apart a website, auditing an API, or chasing bugs through complex workflows.
