Pradeepto Sarkar — Co-Founder
I currently juggle multiple hats across security, open-source ecosystems, and community-led innovation. At the core, I’m building NAMESPACE—a platform designed for Humans and Organizations in Tech. Not just another community, but an ecosystem where belonging, upskilling, and collaboration are foundational—not features. Alongside that, I work as a Security Analyst at OhioHealth, contributing to enterprise cybersecurity in a high-stakes environment, and support programs at The Linux Foundation, helping scale global developer and open-source initiatives. Over the years, I’ve worked across the global tech landscape—partnering with leading brands in AI, Web3, and software to run developer programs, open innovation challenges, and high-signal hackathons. I’ve led major community efforts—most notably HACKHAZARDS, which has grown into one of the world’s largest independent hackathons. I’ve been accepted to Google Summer of Code twice, though I chose not to participate due to overlapping responsibilities with Major League Hacking, where I was deeply involved as a Fellow and Technical Program Associate. I’ve also interned as a Software Engineer at Wingify & BSA, and been recognized by initiatives like Harvard Aspire. I thrive at the intersection of systems and storytelling—whether it’s architecting secure infrastructures, designing learning journeys, or organizing spaces where people come together to build with intent. My work spans high-signal hackathons, open innovation challenges, and grassroots developer networks. At NAMESPACE, I’m now creating a flywheel where people don’t just consume—they co-create. Because not every problem needs a unicorn. Sometimes, it just needs a committed circle of humans who give a damn. If you’re exploring better ways to build, teach, secure, or organize—let’s connect.
