Security Engineer | Amazon | Sunnyvale, California, United States

By the age of 19, I had already achieved the Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) certification, distinguishing myself from peers who were still navigating basic programming concepts. Further solidifying my aptitude in the field, I secured first place in the National Braintech Cybersecurity Championship 2017, earning recognition as one of India’s premier hackers and a scholarship of 50,000 rupees. From 2019 onwards, I channeled my focus towards Bug bounty hunting, marking my foray into Application Security Engineering. I’ve shared my insights and experiences through various blogs on my website, pandaonair.com. Additionally, I’ve pioneered tools such as Syborg, Takemeon, and the ChatGPT Code Analyzer, a VS code extension adept at detecting potential vulnerabilities during the pre-deployment phase. My journey in cybersecurity has been transformative, continually refining my skills and broadening my understanding of diverse threats and challenges. My credentials, while impressive, only tell part of the story. It’s my hands-on experience and unwavering commitment to cybersecurity that truly define my expertise. Equipped with a comprehensive understanding of application creation and vulnerability detection, I bring a rare and invaluable perspective to the realm of Application Security Engineering.
