While at university, Robert started his own web development company. His first website was a static HTML site advertising a plumber. His student prices attracted business, and by the end of university, he had a team of five specializing in developing angular single-page applications and training courses.

One of Robert’s favorite parts of working in web app security is having the opportunity to work with penetration testers and bug bounty hunters.
