Diwakar Devupalli

With 9+ years of diverse experience, I began my career in a consulting role but quickly realized I needed a more challenging environment. This realization led me to the dynamic world of startups, where I spent 4 years immersed in Deep Learning and Computer Vision. During this time, I gained hands-on experience building innovative solutions and navigating the complexities of fast-paced product development.


Seeking to expand my expertise, I transitioned into cybersecurity 3 years ago to focus on development and security together. I focus on protecting a billion-dollar unicorns infrastructure by addressing day-zero vulnerabilities, conducting vulnerability assessments and penetration testing (VAPT) across infrastructure, application, and container environments, enhancing perimeter security, and minimizing the attack surface while adapting to the constantly evolving threat landscape.


Driven by continuous learning, Im always looking to bridge the gap between cutting-edge tech and security to build resilient systems.
