I build AI security products and drive zero-to-one growth.
What I'm looking for
At DapplePot, I led product strategy, customer discovery, and go-to-market for an AI security product, conducting 40+ interviews across 15+ enterprises and securing two enterprise pilot commitments. I designed a hybrid AI security architecture with sub-500 ms runtime detection and 150+ security signals mapped to the OWASP LLM Top 10 and Agentic AI Top 10.
Previously, I grew NxtWave Community from zero to 20K+ active members across top-tier Indian colleges through acquisition, retention, offline campaigns, and 300+ user interviews. I've also turned CV verification into a B2B product at Eazeplace, developed GTM plans at Ripplelabs.ai, and built and deployed MERN applications with Azure DevOps and DigitalOcean.
