Hi, I’m Deva, a security engineer and researcher with a decade of experience across software engineering and security, including working at FAANG and other tech companies. My background combines software development with hands-on application security: secure code review, threat modelling, red teaming, exploit development, and vulnerability research. I also work on CI/CD security and securing AI and LLM systems. Having worked in demanding tech environments, I bring a practical perspective on building security into software development and the skills needed to succeed in security roles. I hold OSCE3, OSWE, OSEP, and OSED certifications, and publish research, tools, and technical writeups on my blog. On Topmate, I can help you break into application security, plan your next career move, prepare for security interviews, or choose a learning and certification path. Bring your questions, and we’ll work towards clear, actionable next steps.
