Summary
Rakshit Jain is a Security Engineer II with a decade of hands-on experience building and hardening web applications, cloud infrastructure, and developer tooling, currently at Microsoft after roles in consulting and product security. He blends offensive testing (BurpSuite, Metasploit, Kali) with pragmatic defenses—drafting vulnerability policies, improving Qualys dashboards, and performing code reviews to raise developer security awareness. His background spans full-stack software delivery and cloud migrations, plus a bespoke BurpSuite extension he built for Stored XSS testing that reflects his inventive approach to niche problems. A Northeastern MS in Cybersecurity graduate, Rakshit pairs technical depth with effective client communication and teaching experience in digital forensics, making him equally comfortable explaining risks to engineers or stakeholders. Based in Brookline, MA, he describes himself on GitHub as a developer “burning with curiosity,” a trait that drives both defensive rigor and creative security tooling.
