Mohd Arif — Co-Founder
As a Senior Security Engineer with 5+ years of experience, I help companies build and ship secure products without slowing down innovation. I specialize in Web, API, and Mobile Pentesting, Cloud Security, Threat Modeling, and embedding scalable SSDLC practices across engineering orgs. My journey into security began with curiosity and evolved into impact — during a routine audit, I uncovered a critical flaw in an inventory system that could’ve exposed sensitive internal data and disrupted fulfillment operations. That incident taught me how even small oversights can cascade into major business risks — and how the right security mindset can prevent them. At Poshmark, I’ve led efforts to assess and secure third-party libraries, performed security architecture reviews for major product features, and rolled out secure coding practices across engineering. I’ve also built threat models that helped mitigate risks early in the development lifecycle, improving issue detection by 40%. Outside of work, I contribute by delivering hands-on security workshops, organizing CTFs, and speaking at conferences like c0c0n and Seasides. I’m currently open to roles that offer relocation, collaboration, and the opportunity to solve real-world security challenges. Let’s connect and build secure systems that scale.
