About

I am a Senior Product Security Engineer at Navan, working across product security, mobile security, and vulnerability research. Previously, I worked at PhonePe and Appknox on AppSec, mobile pentesting, reverse engineering, and security automation. I like digging into places where assumptions break: parsers, runtimes, encodings, mobile protections, and complex product flows that curiosity has taken me across runtimes, databases, media parsers, JavaScript engines, and large-scale product systems. I am especially interested in AI-assisted security: using it to move faster, while keeping human judgment at the center. I speak and train on practical security research, product security, AI-assisted vulnerability research and building security programs. "When contacting me, start with 'Why do we fall, sir?' and tie it back to your reason for reaching out."
