Hi, I'm Gaurav 👋 I'm an Application Security Engineer with 6+ years of experience helping organizations design, build, and secure modern applications and cloud-native platforms. My passion lies in enabling engineering teams to integrate security seamlessly into every stage of the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) without compromising developer productivity or delivery speed. Throughout my career, I've partnered with engineering, DevOps, and platform teams to identify security risks early, automate security across CI/CD pipelines, and implement scalable security practices that support modern software development. My expertise spans Application Security, Product Security, DevSecOps, Cloud Security, Kubernetes Security, and Secure SDLC, with hands-on experience across Azure, AWS, Kubernetes, Docker, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, GitLab CI, Jenkins, and a broad ecosystem of security solutions including SAST, DAST, SCA, Secret Scanning, Container Security, CSPM, IAM, WAF, and Vulnerability Management. Beyond my engineering work, I'm passionate about mentoring professionals looking to transition into Application Security, Product Security, and DevSecOps. Having successfully cleared 30+ technical interviews with leading product companies, consulting firms, and global enterprises, I understand what hiring managers expect and enjoy helping others prepare for successful security careers. Whether you're looking to prepare for interviews, implement DevSecOps, review security findings, design secure architectures, or improve your organization's security posture, I'd be happy to help. 🏆 Highlights ✅ 6+ years of experience in Application Security, Product Security & DevSecOps ✅ Successfully cleared 30+ technical interviews ✅ Hands-on experience securing cloud-native applications and CI/CD pipelines ✅ Expertise across Azure, AWS, Kubernetes, Docker & Cloud Security ✅ Mentor for professionals transitioning into Application Security & Product Security --------------------------------------- 🏢 Companies I've Interviewed With: --------------------------------------- I've successfully cleared technical interviews with leading organizations, including: * Mercedes-Benz R&D * ResMed * IBM * Deloitte * Black Duck * Tekion ... along with TripleLift, PwC , Boomi, Prudential, TVS Motor, ZS Associates, Verto, Stryker, Claranet, SourceFuse, CoinSwitch, GlobalLogic, Cognizant, and Accenture and more.
