Who's typing here.

I'm Dhruv. Outside the keyboard you'll usually find me at a chessboard, across a table-tennis table, or in a pool — and on most nights, somewhere in a COD: Mobile lobby. I like going deep on things: conspiracies, evolution, physics, emerging tech, and drawing connections between events that look unrelated until they aren't.

Professionally I've spent my career in finance and banking, and I'm now turning that focus toward the security side of the domain — phishing, malware, ransomware, DDoS, insider threats, and man-in-the-middle attacks, the recurring class of problems that never quite go away. I've travelled across most of India and picked up a few languages along the way, which pairs well with the thing I love most outside work: long drives. Cars, open roads, no fixed destination. And if you ever want to argue something through, I'll happily play devil's advocate just to see where the seams are.
