Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolVikas Kumar is a seasoned security engineer with 12 years of experience focusing on offensive security, application and network testing, and cloud security across Google Cloud, Salesforce, and NCC Group. He brings deep hands-on expertise in web app penetration testing, containerization (Docker/seccomp), cryptographic implementation review, and low-level Linux/embedded security including driver and bootloader analysis. A University of Michigan computer science graduate, he has a research background applying and optimizing RSA attacks at internet scale and has co-led collegiate CTF efforts, reflecting both practical and research-driven approaches to security. At Google he now applies that offensive mindset to harden cloud services, combining code review skills in Python/C/C++/Go/Java with real-world threat hunting. Less obvious: early internships at Duo Labs and RelateIQ gave him unique DevOps-security perspective that informs secure infrastructure and configuration reviews.
