Hi, I'm Advait Marathe,
a full-stack security engineer.

A decade across AppSec, cloud security, DevSecOps, vulnerability management, and incident response at startups and public companies. I design and deliver security solutions and work directly with the teams building the product.

CTF program

Ran org-wide CTF competitions to build AppSec awareness across the engineering team, making security culture more proactive.

Vuln management automation

Built a Python pipeline for vuln tracking and SLA enforcement that eliminated all manual ticket overhead and achieved 100% coverage across every service.

  • Led supply chain attack remediation and response across all teams and services.
  • Defined LLM acceptable use policies and led security remediation for AI tooling including Claude Code — covering prompt injection, data leakage, and third-party model risk.
  • Led architecture reviews on complex systems at scale; findings required deep system-level analysis, not surface-level scanning.
  • Ran org-wide CTF competitions to build AppSec awareness across the engineering team.
