01 · About
Curious since 12.
I got into security at 12, out of curiosity.
In March 2026, ThreatScope began as a hackathon project. By April I was building it alone, as a company.
In June I rebuilt it from scratch after two earlier designs hit their limits.
My first market was Indian banks: a scanner that checks their code without the code ever leaving the building. In September I turned to developers instead, because bank sales cycles were too long for a bootstrapped founder. In October the product became Offscan.
02 · Now
Right now.
- I am building Offscan and taking it to developers.
- I lead platform and security engineering at BLC, a placement-training company in Bangalore.
- And I am a 3rd-year engineering student, specialising in AI and ML.

05 · How I work
How I work.
Why I buildI build the tools I need. When the ones out there are paid, come with a catch, or will not bend to how I work, I make my own, in the spirit of free software and open source. Everything I build keeps the owner in control.
Before one release I found and fixed a critical SSH-key leak in my own code. I treat my own projects like targets.
I build alone at the speed of a team by running AI agents in parallel, often overnight, and I check every claim before it ships.
