What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build autonomous AI systems, secure web platforms, and attack-surface intelligence tools while continuing hands-on security research and high-velocity product engineering.

I founded ZeroDayCops, where I lead open-source security research, AI agent development, attack surface intelligence platforms, and security tool automation.

I've built products including ZeroDayCopsScheduler, an AI-powered social media automation engine using TypeScript, Node.js, AI agents, and Cloudflare R2, and HellowPay, a developer-first UPI payment platform with payment links, webhooks, and transaction analytics.

Through Bugcrowd and HackerOne, I research and report web application vulnerabilities across OWASP Top 10 flaws, REST APIs, authentication bypasses, misconfigurations, and rate-limit bypasses. My vulnerability disclosure work earned recognition in the NASA Hall of Fame and a NASA Letter of Appreciation.

I've also delivered WhatsApp automation, Meta Business Suite scheduling, Local SEO work, custom WordPress development, API automations, and secure web deployments for clients.
