Overview

I work on application security at Relay Grid in Mumbai. Built the experimentation framework 31 product teams use to ship changes safely. Wrote the Burp Suite service that now handles 67 million requests a day. Before that: Google and Hindustan Unilever. Most at home with cloud security and Burp Suite. Learning Japanese, slowly.
