About

I’m an Offensive Security Researcher and Red Teamer who enjoys breaking things to make them stronger. I simulate real‑world cyberattacks , from traditional enterprise red teaming to testing the limits of AI/LLM systems to find security gaps before the bad guys do. Over the years, I’ve worked across: Web, API, and mobile app security Infrastructure and cloud environments AI/LLM security (prompt injection, adversarial inputs, data leaks, model exploitation) I’ve reported vulnerabilities to 30+ organizations, including a high‑impact AI/LLM flaw in Google Gemini that was acknowledged by Google’s security team. My bug bounty work has also been recognized by Cambridge University, Vodafone, Groww, LeetCode, Shine, and others. Outside of assessments, I like building security tools, writing code, and automation. Portfolio: viralvaghela.com GitHub: github.com/viralvaghela I’m always open to conversations about red teaming, offensive security, AI security, and building tools that make defenders’ lives easier.
