I’m a software engineer, security researcher, AI & open-source enthusiast, and lifelong learner based in Mumbai, India.
Life gets tough sometimes and when you are not in the mood to tackle it head-on, you should contribute to Open-Source or build something cool to distract yourself.
That is my life philosophy!
- Build tooling, extensions, frameworks, and infrastructure to improve developer workflows.
- Explore security, automation, and developer tooling.
- Contribute to open-source projects and share knowledge via blogs, talks, or tutorials.
- Continuously learning new tech — currently diving deeper into AI/LLMs, security, and systems design.
Here are some of my standout projects. (See full list in my GitHub profile.)
| Project | Description |
|---|---|
| AIToolSuite-v2 | A suite of tools & utilities for security testing AI and performing security testing using AI (Python) |
| CVE-2024-50986 | A security-vulnerability analysis / proof-of-concept for DLL Hijacking exploit in Clementine Music Player |
| ilk-toolkit | Automated installer / configurator to turn any Linux distro into a pen-testing environment within minutes. |
| CodeSecGPT / CodeSecGPT-Enterprise / KPMG-CodeSecGPT | VS Code extensions and tooling for code security powered by LLMs |
| rEFInd-RetroGame | A retro gaming inspired theme for the rEFInd boot manager so that your dual-boot screen looks pretty. |
⚠ This is just a highlighted list. I’ve got more experiments, tools, and side projects. Explore them on my profile!
