## Headline

Senior Security Research Engineer II at Harness

## About

I design and develop advanced security systems that protect applications at scale\. Currently at Harness\.io \(Traceable AI\), I focus on creating intelligent security tools that move beyond detection to actively reduce noise and prioritize what matters\. My work spans the full security stack, from building AI\-powered API discovery tools and RASP solutions to developing high\-performance WAF enhancements that took industry\-standard ratings from F to A\+\. I've architected triaging agents using MCP that cut manual workload for security teams, created sophisticated confidence scoring engines for threat detection, and built external attack surface discovery tools that remain in active use\. I'm passionate about offensive security research and tooling\. I've presented at OWASP AppSec EU and DEF CON's AppSec Village, sharing work on WAF evasion testing and payload obfuscation\. I contribute to open\-source security projects including Coraza, CrAPI, and my own project Obfuskit, a complete WAF efficacy testing toolkit\.
