Secure Software Engineering | Backend Systems | AI Security | Identity Security

About

I started in offensive security learnt about honeypots and how to deploy them in AWS, building a small cloud-based honeypot project (CloudTrap) to observe how attackers probe exposed systems, and did a security internship finding basic vulnerabilities using tools like Burp Suite and Nmap. That hands-on exposure to how things break is shaping where I'm headed now. I'm moving upstream from finding vulnerabilities to building systems that don't have them: backend systems with security built in from the start, identity & access management through my work on identity security at Cross Identity, and AI deployment & security, understanding how AI systems and agents get built, deployed, and governed safely at scale. That's the intersection I have built my career around secure software engineering, backend engineering, identity security, and AI security.
