About this ebook

In the ancient land of Bharat, where the very air hummed with the echoes of celestial chants and the scent of sacred woodsmoke mingled with the sweet fragrance of jasmine, the revered sage Jamadagni made a profound pronouncement. His voice, deep and resonant like the drone of a temple gong at dawn, cut through the shimmering heat of the afternoon. He stood bathed in the golden light of the setting sun, his silhouette a majestic outline against the vibrant orange and purple hues of the sky. The challenge was laid before his fellow rishis – a crucible of trials to prove their unwavering devotion and immense strength. Each sage, a beacon of unique wisdom and formidable powers, would embark on a solitary journey, yet together they would form an unbreakable chain of spiritual might. The path ahead, Jamadagni declared, would be fraught with unseen perils and unexpected boons, demanding from them an unyielding commitment to dharma, a righteousness as pure and unyielding as the celestial Ganga itself. The very earth seemed to hold its breath, anticipating the unfolding epic, the rustle of leaves in the nearby banyan grove whispering promises of trials yet to come.

About the author

Chinmoy Mukherjee has been working as solution architect for past 15 years.

Over the past 25 years, he has contributed to 50 real-world software projects as an individual contributor. His experience has enabled him to design, develop, and deploy some of the most complex systems, handling millions of transactions per day. As both an AWS and GCP-certified architect, he has not only built 8 systems from scratch but has also successfully re-engineered 7 legacy systems, improving their performance by 15–30%.

His expertise in cybersecurity has led to incredible discoveries—some thrilling, some frustrating. He was listed among the top 100 security researchers in the world for Microsoft (Q4, 2022) and also in Google's Hall of Fame. He ethically hacked Baba Bank, retrieving its entire customer database, and even achieved remote code execution in JPMC & Solana. Over time, he has reported critical vulnerabilities to 50+ Australian companies and received bug bounties from Uber, Apple, Mastercard, Octopus Australia, MagicLeap, and Paysafe. One of his wildest exploits? He found a vulnerability that let him order a Porsche without paying—only to receive a meager $1050 bounty for the discovery.

His penchant for testing boundaries made him the first engineer among 500,000 in HCLTech to complete and download all 1,000 offered certificates. In the industry, he played a critical role in defeating Infosys in 3 major RFPs while being part of underdog teams. Beyond corporate challenges, he took the lead in India's first blockchain token deployment, successfully developing and listing tokens on the Ethereum network.

Innovation has been central to his career. He holds 3 patents, granted in the USA and Australia. Among them, he developed "Patient Analytics," a patented system that underwent successful clinical trials in India.
