Vangelis Stykas

Vangelis Stykas began as a developer from Greece. Six years ago, he realized that only his dog didn’t have an API, so he decided to steer his focus towards security. That led him to pursue a PhD in Web Application Security with an extra focus on machine learning. He’s still actively pursuing it. He currently applies his skills as a Chief Technology Officer at Atropos. His love of a simplistic approach to hacking by exploiting vulnerable APIs led him to publish research regarding API controlling ships, smart locks, IP cameras, car alarms, EV chargers, and many other IoT devices.
