Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolUjjwal Verma is a product security engineer with 10 years of experience, currently building secure product features at Pinterest after a multi-year tenure in Salesforce’s product security organization. He blends hands-on offensive skills (OSWE, OSED) with formal training from Carnegie Mellon to design pragmatic defenses for large-scale web platforms. An active open-source contributor, he has improved mitmproxy’s core by fixing protocol handling, adding features, and hardening TLS/HTTP/WebSocket flows—work that directly supports penetration testers and developers worldwide. Early Google Summer of Code experience and community leadership roles reflect a habit of mentoring and shipping tooling that scales across teams. He’s based in San Francisco and brings a researcher’s rigor to applied security problems, often uncovering subtle protocol and proxy misconfigurations before they reach production.
