about
Hello, I'm Nithin Ravi. I go by @thebinarybot in most of the places online. I work as an Offensive Security Specialist at Centripetal Networks, where I find ways into systems before adversaries do and help close those gaps permanently.
I publish research and present at security conferences - mostly on web, api and ai security. I also write and post anything security that I find particularly interesting in my socials (or just LinkedIn). Speaking and writing are how I stress-test ideas because if I can't explain it clearly, I probably didn't understand it well enough.
Off the clock I automate anything that bores me twice, play chess, read a LOT of fiction and occasionally disappear into rabbit holes that have nothing to do with security, until they do.
