Open to internships and full-time roles
Prabhat
Upadhyay
Backend and security engineer. I build payment rails, vulnerability research tooling and Go services that hold up under load.
About
I'm a final-year engineering student at NIT Agartala who spends most waking hours writing software. Go is home base, with TypeScript, Rust and Python close behind.
Lately that means building OpenSec, a bounded vulnerability-research harness, and FluxPay, a non-custodial payment gateway on Solana. Before that: internships at The Boring Education and NORIFARM, open-source work across the Linux Foundation, and enough competitive programming to keep my algorithms sharp.
I'm looking for roles where shipping fast and thinking adversarially both count: security engineering, backend or platform teams especially.
Currently
- Building FluxPay & OpenSec
- Hunting on managed bounty programs
