I'm currently an AppSec Analyst at Checkmarx, where I delve into the intricate world of application security. My academic path led me to a Master's degree in Computer Science and Engineering with a focus on Cybersecurity at Instituto Superior Técnico, which culminated in a thesis on the automatic patching of software vulnerabilities. Outside of work, I share some of my insights on my security blog, discussing everything from CVEs I've discovered to broader security topics. I'd love to hear what you think about them! From time to time, I also take part in CTF competitions with team STT. In my spare time, I like to relax with a few bouldering sessions and also to play the drums.

Hi! My name is Raphael Silva a 24yr old AppSec Researcher from Portugal. Having graduated college in 2021 with a degree in Information Systems, I’ve worked as a freelancer web developer for a year before joining my current company, Checkmarx. Since then, apart from my usual work doing research for our SAST engines I've taken part in some public speaking and public-facing activities, the more notable ones being conducting a Code Review workshop at AppSec Village at DEFCON30 and giving talks about AI and AppSec at my former university. I participate and help expand my company's vulnerability research initiatives, having found multiple vulnerabilities in open-source products over the years, such as: Odoo, OSTicket, Jellyfin and UmbracoCMS. I'm always looking for ways to expand my knowledge in the field, be that sharpening my technical skills by reading innovative research, practicing CTFs, engaging in some bug bounty hunting, and taking certifications. I'm eWPTXv2 certified and currently enrolled in OSCP.
