Ethical Hacker, Pentester, Speaker

Speaker at Techorama NL 2025
Day 1:
- Top-10 rated session (audience score)
- 69 speakers evaluated

Software Developer with an actuarial/insurance mathematics background. I've always had a fascination with hacking. Making software and hardware do things other than what they were built for is the most amazing thing there is!
When it became clear that you could legally make money through (ethical) hacking, I started working as a pentester. The best job I've ever had!
In addition, I give presentations and workshops at Company’s and Events with the aim of improving the Security Awareness among employees. I do this in the form of demonstrating low-threshold hacks. I show how simple it sometimes can be to enter companies and buildings through social engineering and once inside how systems of that company can be hacked.

My deep interest in Data Governance and Data Management enables me to design frameworks that make data reliable, accessible, and truly valuable. What drives me is creating BI solutions that deliver insights, support decision-making, and make data understandable and actionable across the organization.

Hey, I’m Shivam a theoretical physicist who somehow ended up deep in the world of tech, startups, and cloud-native systems. I co-organize CNCF Kolkata and Grafana and Friends Kolkata, and I’m also part of the CNCF TAG for Developer Experience, where I contribute to improving how developers build and ship software.

I’ve always been obsessed with what’s happening under the hood from low-level systems and kernel-level programming to how distributed infra runs at scale. I absolutely love working with Rust and Go, and you’ll usually find me tinkering with Kubernetes, cloud platforms, and open-source tools. That’s my happy place.

I am part of a company that’s currently incubated at T-Hub Hyderabad, and we’ve been fortunate to be supported by the Department of Science and Technology (Delhi), AWS Startups, the NVIDIA Inception Program, and we’re also proud to be Meta Business Partners for our product wisemelon.ai, which is helping businesses rethink how they use AI bots.

More than anything, I care about showing young engineers especially students just entering college what real-world engineering actually looks like. There’s so much more than just writing code on a laptop. Systems, scale, and building things that people actually use that’s where the fun begins.

Driven by continuous improvement and problem-solving, I’ve sought to experiment with and practice product delivery in a variety of environments—waterfall and agile frameworks, IT consulting firms, web agencies, the public sector, start-ups, and software vendors—in order to explore the full range of possibilities and refine my approach to organizational, agile, and delivery coaching.

A hands-on professional, I am equally interested in operational, organizational, and strategic dimensions. Human dynamics are also central to my work: understanding how to collaborate more effectively, align perspectives, and “speak the same language” in complex ecosystems is what drives me.

My mantra: there are no problems, only solutions.

Software Architect and Engineering Lead with 20+ years building and scaling web and mobile platforms. I specialise in JVM-based backend systems, mobile development (Android, Flutter), and the architecture that connects them.

Most recently, I led the architectural transition of a global online dating platform from legacy monoliths to .NET microservices with React frontends, while continuing to operate the existing JVM-based API platform serving over 1 billion interactions per month. I also introduced an AI-assisted software engineering program, integrating tools like Cursor and AI agents into team workflows. I lead distributed engineering teams, own DevOps pipelines, and bridge the gap between product strategy and technical execution.

My work spans hands-on development, system design, and team leadership, often all three simultaneously. I'm equally comfortable debugging a race condition in production, designing a multi-region deployment strategy, or mentoring engineers through a complex refactor.

I run my consulting practice through Ventego Creative, which has allowed me to work with organisations ranging from startups to enterprises including Vodafone, Citibank, Siemens, Cupid Media, Raygun, and DistroKid. I also maintain several open-source SDKs (Android, Flutter, Ruby, Python, Node) for Raygun's error tracking platform.

Beyond client work, I'm an active conference speaker (Droidcon, Android Makers, CFCamp, and others), a technology writer for European IT publications, and have been co-organising community meetup groups since the start of my career. I hold a Master's degree in Mathematics and Computer Science and am currently pursuing a Master's in Data Science.
