Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolNishant Patnaik is a senior application security engineer with 13 years of experience, currently Sr. MTS Application Security at eBay in Karnataka, India. He builds pragmatic, automated defenses—everything from fast CI/CD security linting and automated dynamic mobile testing to runtime attack telemetry and anti-fraud systems that work with minimal or no product code changes. His open-source work (notably the appmon repo) shows hands-on mobile reverse-engineering: iOS hooks, SSL‑pinning bypass scripts and keychain reset tooling used to harden apps. Previously he ran the information security program at InMobi and served on Yahoo!’s Paranoids team, combining threat modeling, pen-testing and security automation. He blends offensive expertise with production-grade engineering to make security measurable, repeatable and developer-friendly.
