No. I've started coding by my own at the age of 9, were playing the old gems of games, saw people developing cool stuff in games like Minecraft.

Got a java book for christmas, started learning and got into Minecraft development. At the age of 14, I started learning cpp, reverse engineering and a bit of ASM. Found a vulnerability in Epic Games by messing around with stuff, managed to report it and was rewarded, then I simply kept going and made security research to my hobby.

My family is not familiar with software, but with hardware, so I got my hands on a PC very early. No pressure tho.
