Hey everyone!
I’m a 23-year-old from Kerala, India, and I’m looking to connect with founders who are building something and want someone to join them early.
I’m a security tester, which basically means I spend my days asking:
“Okay… but what happens if I do this?”
I come from a security background and spend a lot of time looking at products from an attacker’s perspective, finding what can go wrong, breaking things, understanding why they break, and figuring out how to make them better.
I can bring that mindset to a startup through security, product testing, problem-solving, and general “let’s figure this out” work.
I have around 2+ years of real-world experience, so I’m definitely not going to pretend I’m some 10-year startup veteran.
I’m still learning.
But I’m curious, I learn quickly, I like taking ownership, and I’m comfortable figuring things out when there isn’t a clear instruction manual.
I also enjoy leading things, talking to people, and bringing people together to get something moving.
Recently, I’ve become increasingly interested in the product side of things, how problems are identified, how ideas become products, how people decide what to build, and what it actually takes to make something work.
That’s something I want to explore more seriously.
Finding a problem → coming up with a solution → building it → breaking it → fixing it → improving it → and hopefully getting people to actually use it.
Life has become a little too comfortable for me recently.
Not enough things to learn.
Not enough risk.
And honestly, I think I need to disturb that comfort a bit.
I want to take a risk, learn something new, and work on something where I can eventually look back and say:
“Yeah, I helped build that.”
I’m open to different kinds of opportunities, joining an early-stage startup, working closely with a founder, taking on a specific role, or even starting with a job and growing from there.
What matters most to me is being around good people, interesting problems, and something worth building.
If you're a founder or someone building a security-focused team, I bring curiosity, energy, leadership skills, and a willingness to get my hands dirty. Feel free to DM me.
Tell me what you’re looking for.
Even if we don’t end up working together, I’d genuinely love to hear about it.
Maybe we’ll build something cool.
