Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSetu Basak is a software engineer with 11 years of experience focused on applied software security, particularly secret scanning and risk-based secret management. He earned a PhD researching risk-driven approaches to secret detection, produced the first public benchmark dataset for software secrets, and built tools to help developers prioritize mitigation. Setu has blended research and production experience—from leading backend and mobile engineering at Enosis to implementing IAM and performance optimizations at Fidelity and now contributing to security work at Google. He combines data-driven discovery and analytics with practical CI/CD and cloud migrations, and his work often surfaces non-obvious temporal threat relations to enable earlier breach detection. Based in Raleigh, he brings a pragmatic, research-informed perspective to hard problems at the intersection of developer workflows and application security.
