Hi, I'm Ashwin
I work across the offensive and defensive sides of security — a bridge between breaking systems and building the guardrails that keep them safe.
These days, my work revolves around software supply chain security and AI security, jumping between breaking systems to understand them and building guardrails that scale. I focus on establishing baselines and creating paved paths that help engineering teams work securely without slowing down. Along the way, I build tools, train teams, and share my research through blogs, talks and workshops around the world. At the core of everything I do is a belief in usable security, if people can’t apply it seamlessly, it isn’t working.
Beyond work, I like to listen to and explore new music

What I’m focused on
Research
OSINT techniques, software supply chain security, and AI security.
Building
Tools, guides, and techniques that teams can actually use day to day.
Hacking
Breaking systems to understand them — offensive research, exploitation, and red teaming.
