Jari Jääskelä is a bug bounty hunter and software developer with nine years of experience blending offensive security, code review, and applied software engineering. He has responsibly disclosed multiple high-impact CVEs — including remote code execution and file upload flaws in VMware products and Apache Kafka Connect — demonstrating deep expertise in finding complex injection and authentication-related issues. Based in Finland, he pairs freelance security testing with full-time work building internal tools, ERP integrations, and e-commerce systems at Suomen Varaosakeskus Oy. His research background at the University of Oulu involved security assessments for healthcare products, creating CTF challenges, and security-focused development, showing an unusual mix of academic rigor and practical exploitation skills. Comfortable across web, mobile, and embedded stacks, he brings hands-on experience in Qt/C++, Python, and web technologies to both offensive testing and secure feature development. He combines a master’s in computer science with a pragmatic mindset that turns vulnerability research into actionable improvements for production systems.
