Before any of this was a career, it was just the internet. Building websites for anyone who’d pay, deep in forums and communities at odd hours, more friends online than offline. I knew every trick to watch the latest movies without paying for them. You know how.

That world shaped how I think about technology more than any course or certification ever could. I wasn’t studying it. I was living in it.

// build

Started my career building mobile apps for some of India’s most recognisable financial institutions — the kind where a bug isn’t just embarrassing, it’s someone’s life savings. Then a startup. Then blockchain. Then cloud architecture on AWS at scale. Then machine learning. Then AI products.

Not a planned path. Just an inability to look away from whatever became the most interesting problem in tech. Every wave, I was already in it.

Security was never the destination — it’s what happens when you care enough to understand what you built.

// mischief

Found every user account on one of India’s most popular matrimonial sites — names, passwords, everything exposed. Reported it. Got my friends free Burger King by finding something I probably shouldn’t have. Once ran a DB dump on what I was sure was an abandoned education website. It wasn’t. The site was down for a long time. I still think about that one.

There are a few others I'll never talk about.

Currently leading the AI team within F-Secure’s Scam Unit — some of the sharpest minds I’ve worked with. We work with the latest AI models: training them, optimising them, pushing them to do things their creators didn’t anticipate, and building products that protect real people at scale.

The problem we’re solving is genuinely hard. Scams are adaptive, personal, and human. No rule-based system catches them. We’re building on-device AI that thinks faster than the scam does — and finding angles that nobody in this space has thought to look from yet.

The name isn’t accidental. Breach — because the best way to understand technology is to break through it, not around it. Guru — not in the self-proclaimed sense, but in the original one: a guide through difficult terrain.

The YouTube channel is where I take the things I’m deep in — AI, the latest breakthroughs, the latest failures — and make them actually understandable. For the IT pro who wants to go deeper. For the curious person who just wants to know what’s really going on.

Poker. Puzzles. Monopoly and Catan taken far too seriously. Used to play a lot of video games — now I just find bugs in the things other people built instead.

Once got lost in a forest with three friends. Villagers and a forest rescue team had to pull us out at 1am. We were warned never to come back. Turns out it was one of the most dangerous forests in the area — wild pigs, snakes, all of it. We didn’t know any of that going in. We heard the pigs. We did not find the snakes. We found that part out later.
