Mahesh Raj Rajagopal
Offensive Security Analyst
Chicago, Illinois
As a security team member, I get hands-on and think like an attacker to find weaknesses before real threats do. I spend time testing applications and internal services for security gaps, misconfigurations, and broken logic, and I write small C and Python scripts to automate checks or build quick proof-of-concepts when something looks exploitable. I’m comfortable digging into unfamiliar systems, asking the right questions, and learning fast. I take a practical approach to security, break things, understand why they broke, and clearly explain what needs to be fixed so the team can actually act on it.
