Welcome to my GitHub! I'm a technologist, startup founder, and engineering leader with 20+ years of experience in building enterprise SaaS, cybersecurity platforms, and cutting-edge AI tools. I love solving hard problems, writing clean code, and scaling products (and teams).
- 🔬 Currently building Ephor.ai @ Trilogy— an AI platform to accelerate human learning using GenAI.
- 🚀 2X Founder previously
- FireCompass — built a globally distributed attack surface management engine.
- iViZ Security — the world's first SaaS-based Penetration Testing platform (acquired).
- ⚙️ Deeply hands-on: from full-stack development, LLMs & cloud optimization to DevOps and system architecture.
- 📜 3x US patent holder in cybersecurity and red teaming technologies.
- 🤝 Often found mentoring teams, debugging gnarly infra bugs, or cracking CTFs.
- Founded iViZ Security to bring cloud-native, on-demand Penetration Testing as a Service to the enterprise world — way before SaaS security was mainstream.
- Scaled engineering, delivery, and research teams to 100+.
- Published critical vulnerabilities in BitLocker, McAfee SafeBoot, BIOS, and AV tools.
- Raised VC funding, led the company to a successful acquisition by Cigital which in turn was acquired by Synopsys.
- Integrated tech stacks post-acquisition, scaled operations and engineering to 120+, and drove 5x revenue growth.
- Co-founded FireCompass to enable automated red teaming and attack surface management at internet scale.
- Designed a choreography-based distributed scanner indexing 60TB+ from OSINT and threat intel feeds.
- Scaled ARR to $500K+, hired 40+ engineers, and raised venture funding.
- Dev & Infra: AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, EKS, Terraform, CDK, GitHub Actions
- AI/GenAI: LangChain, LlamaIndex, FastAPI, OpenAI, Gemini, Bedrock
- Security: Penetration Testing, Red Teaming, Threat Modeling
- Other: CI/CD, System Design, Cost Optimization, SaaS Architecture
- 📈 Scaled enterprise SaaS portfolio at Trilogy.
- 🤖 Built GenAI tools to boost developer productivity & automate cost savings (e.g., ERAG, Expertmind).
- 📜 3x US Patent Holder in cyber security and red teaming.
- 🏅 Winner of multiple hackathons & CTFs (Facebook Bountycon, Nullcon, CodeAgon, etc.)
- 🔬 Published high-impact vulnerability research in critical systems.
