Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolNishil S is a security-focused engineering leader with 11 years of experience building privacy-first, production-grade systems across startups and large enterprises in San Francisco. As Skiff’s founding security engineer and later Director of Security (now part of Notion), he architected and launched Skiff Mail, drove infra migrations, and grew the product to millions of users while implementing end-to-end encryption, WebAuthn, PGP/WKD, and real-time anti-abuse systems. His background includes application security roles at Coinbase—where he helped design an industry solution for FinCEN Travel Rule compliance—and product security work at Salesforce, giving him deep expertise in payments, identity, and developer-focused security tooling. He mentors engineers, runs pentests and CI security checks, and combines hands-on implementation with external advocacy through conference talks and community outreach. Unusually for a security leader, he also co-founded an early-stage SaaS investment fund and has a dual BS in Computer Engineering and Computer Science from UT Austin.
