Aqeel Yaseen

Aqeel Yaseen transitioned into Offensive Security from over a decade of teaching yoga and mentoring mindfulness-based retreats professionally, and he is currently working with RedHelm. That might seem like a curious combination, but Pentesting and teaching yoga both help people cultivate awareness of blind spots and find ways to learn and grow from that awareness. Aqeel has been teaching himself the art and skill of hacking by creating home labs, owning machines on HTB and Offsec’s Proving Grounds, and participating in CTFs. He has already earned the Security+, OSCP, OSWA, and CRTO certifications. He also has a website with two years of recorded yoga and meditation classes that are available for free. He is eager to learn and to share!
