Varun Biniwale

Hey, Iā€™m Varun! Iā€™m into software engineering and cybersecurity, and Iā€™m about to start my undergraduate studies at the University of Waterloo.

I once (accidentally) hacked ā€œevery school in the worldā€*: (skip to 7:37 for the fun parts)

I run my schoolā€™s coding club, have helped teach robotics workshops, and am leading the organization of my schoolā€™s third TEDx event. Iā€™ve built projects like Quickz, a Kahoot alternative used around the world, and Flopbook, a simple animation tool.

Iā€™ve also contributed to Scratch, first as an external contributor, and later as an intern on their engineering team.

In my free time, I participate in bug bounty programs, helping secure software for organizations like Google, Meta, and the Scratch Foundation. My work has been cited in places like The Verge and Ars Technica.
