Security Engineer securing production Fintech APIs with penetration testing, secure code review, and SOC triage.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Security Engineer at Cashfree Payments, focused on securing production-grade Fintech APIs and web applications. I help teams find real issues early through penetration testing and secure code review.
I identify real-world OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, triage bug bounty reports end-to-end, and support SOC operations in a high-stakes payment environment. I monitor and investigate AWS GuardDuty alerts and correlate threat intelligence using Cyble to improve incident triage and escalation.
I bring a strong security foundation with an MS in Cybersecurity from MAHE and I’m actively progressing toward CEH. My hands-on work includes building SecureAPI, an automated API security testing framework for common OWASP Top 10 classes, and a Python-based antivirus engine using VirusTotal API.
I value practical, measurable security outcomes and collaboration with engineers. I’ve contributed to AWS WAF rule deployment via Terraform and engineered automation integrating Datadog with Jira and Slack to streamline alert escalation and incident tracking.
