About Me
Ted Mathew dela Cruz
Software developer & independent security researcher based in the Philippines.
Hello there.
I'm Ted, a software developer at Bukas. We help Filipino and Indonesian youth attain higher education through student loans.
I'm also a white-hat, independent cybersecurity researcher. I legally hack corporations with their permission during my free time. Companies have rewarded me for finding vulnerabilities in their assets through the HackerOne bug bounty platform.
I also tinker with AI to empower small teams in their workflow.
Hit me up on LinkedIn or drop an email at tedmathewdelacruz@gmail.com.
