“We did it! Finally, we were able to get into the final four phase, which was quite challenging. I’m super happy to bring that brand new French team to the final phase in Argentina, either for the petite finale or for the finale! The event was great, and I’m pretty sure we reached the goal to get my team confident they can be successful on HackerOne — that’s exactly what I wanted!”
