Summary
Rahul Kadavil is a seasoned penetration tester and product security engineer with a decade of hands-on experience securing web, mobile, and API ecosystems across enterprises like News Corp, Honeywell, and Henkel. He blends deep offensive skills—Burp Suite, Nmap, Kali, MobSF—with SAST, SCA and DAST tooling such as Checkmarx, Snyk and Detectify to operationalize vuln triage and remediation in CI/CD environments. Rahul has led PCI Level 1 onboarding, revalidated pentest findings, and built threat modeling and zero-cost tooling improvements that improved team processes. Comfortable reversing mobile apps to bypass jailbreak/SSL pinning and finding complex issues like IDOR, SSRF and sensitive data exposure, he pairs research-driven curiosity (active in bug bounty) with pragmatic security program delivery. Based in Bengaluru, he leverages an MTech in Cyber Security and a background in SDLC-integrated code analysis to translate technical risk into actionable fixes for development teams.
