I make security disappear for the user and re-appear as trust for the business. I’ve been reverse-engineering problems since I started coding at age 10. Founded a software engineering company in college that refactored mission-critical SaaS, my career has always paired deep engineering with a bias for action. I’ve been solving complex problems ever since — from creating end-to-end platform architecture, hand-tuning packet pipelines to inventing a dynamic firewall that generates its own rules on the fly — and I still get the same buzz every time a partner says, “That was fast.” In 2015, I launched LOKI, a cloud-managed unified threat management product with a dynamic firewall that writes its own rules in real time. Backed by Singtel and other investors, LOKI grew into a SASE platform, leading a merger that became the seed crystal for Timus Networks. Today, as the CEO & Co-Founder of Timus Networks, I steer a relentless, follow-the-sun team that builds a product loved by the MSPs, ships weirdly fast and never compromises on quality. We operate on one mantra: iterate faster than anyone and prove it with outcomes. Our MSP-first SASE platform turns complex security into an invisible, trusted experience for thousands of MSP-managed users worldwide. Let’s connect if you’re an MSP seeking a zero-trust edge and a straight path to unified, hassle-free protection across the entire customer base.
