I don’t believe in buzzwords. I believe in solving problems.

My career has been shaped by a simple obsession: making things work better — faster, safer, and with less manual effort. That’s what led me into DevOps, and eventually into DevSecOps and Site Reliability Engineering. I’ve spent over a decade building secure, scalable systems across startups, enterprises, and government-linked organizations.

Whether I’m leading automation at Olympus Corporation or building tech strategy as CTO at OurCodeLab, I focus on practical outcomes: secure CI/CD pipelines, containerized environments, automated patching, centralized logging, and clean documentation that teams actually use.

I’ve worked with tools like Docker, Terraform, Jenkins, ELK, Kafka, SonarQube, and Kong — not because they’re trendy, but because they solve real problems. I write in Python, Bash, Groovy, and Java when needed. I document everything. And I don’t shy away from legacy systems or messy handovers — I fix them.

I’m currently deepening my SAST, SCA expertise and always open to collaborations that value clarity, security, and long-term thinking. If you’re building something that needs structure, automation, or just a fresh set of eyes — let’s talk.

International Women’s Day always makes me stop and think about the women who didn't just 'inspire' me, but actually helped me navigate the messy parts of my career.

It’s not always about the big, polished milestones. It’s about the colleague who vouched for you in a meeting you weren't in, the mentor who told you to ask for more, and the friends who remind you that you’re doing a great job when you’re feeling the burnout.

To the women in my circle: Thank you for keeping it real and for pushing the door open a little wider for the rest of us.

Let's keep building rooms where everyone has a seat at the table. 🥂

🚨 New issue: Farath’s Bi‑Weekly Code Security Brief is live

This fortnight, I cover:

🔻 Microsoft Feb Patch Tuesday – 6 zero‑days, 50+ fixes, heavy on EoP and security feature bypass.
🔻 CVE‑2026‑1731 (BeyondTrust Remote Support / PRA) – pre‑auth RCE on your privileged access gateway.
🔻 Critical edge‑stack bugs in WordPress and SmarterMail that turn “just the blog/mail server” into an easy pivot.

If you own AppSec or platform, the theme is simple: secure the tools that run your tools.

🚀 Tech Job Drop #4 | February 27, 2026

I finally dropped a new issue of Farath’s Bi‑Weekly Code Security Brief (yes, a bit late, zero‑days won this round 😅).

This one is all about attackers going after the things that are supposed to protect you:
🔻 Tenable Security Center (CVE‑2026‑2630) – authenticated command injection on your vuln‑management brain.
🔻 Juniper PTX (CVE‑2026‑21902) – RCE via on‑box anomaly detection on core routers.
🔻 Ivanti EPMM & EPM – more unauth RCE, auth bypass and SQLi on your MDM/endpoint control plane.
🔻 Plus a quick look at Azure control‑plane issues and why your cloud “front doors” aren’t magic shields.

If you care about treating scanners, MDM and routers as first‑class AppSec surfaces (with real SLAs, not vibes), this one’s for you.
