Rishat Valitov is a security-focused software engineer with 11 years of experience blending reverse engineering and front-end development to harden web environments. He spent four years as a reverse engineer before joining Fingerprint as a Senior Security Engineer, contributing to BotD — a prominent client-side bot detection library — where he built and refactored the interactive playground that surfaces detection results in the browser. Trained with a Master’s in Computer and Information Systems Security from Bauman MSTU and a Full Stack certification from Free Code Camp, he comfortably bridges low-level analysis and practical web UX. Rishat’s work reflects a rare mix of adversarial thinking and product-minded engineering: he not only probes automation and attack surfaces but also ships usable interfaces that help developers test defenses. Based in Moscow, he brings a pragmatic, research-driven approach to making client-side security measurable and accessible.
