Previously a production line supervisor at TSMC with nearly six years of experience in production management, I made the bold decision to leave this "Silicon Shield" due to personal circumstances and interests, transitioning into the field of cybersecurity. Now specializing in penetration testing, vulnerability scanning, and related assessments, I entered a field entirely unrelated to my previous career. Through persistent learning and a rigorous routine of working during the day, parenting in the evening, and studying late at night, I achieved first place in the HITCON ZERODAY 2023 vulnerability disclosure rankings within just one year of transitioning and successfully reported two CVE vulnerabilities.

This session aims to share my journey of career change and learning experiences, encouraging more people to step boldly into the cybersecurity field. Whether you are a beginner or considering a career shift, this talk offers insights and directions for learning and growth in cybersecurity.
