About

I'm Go Charan Kilaru, a security engineer focused on application and product security — web, APIs, source code review, and the DevSecOps pipelines that keep findings from coming back.

I finished my M.S. in Cybersecurity at the University of Delaware in May 2025 with a 3.96 GPA. Before graduate school I worked as a Security Analyst at Deloitte in Mumbai. At UD, my Ford-sponsored graduate research put me deep in embedded C firmware and EV/V2G protocol security — secure-firmware engineering that now backs up my application security work with systems-level depth.

Outside of work I'm an active bug bounty researcher on HackerOne and Bugcrowd, and I build open-source security tooling — kspect and Basilisk are the current flagships.

I'm targeting security engineer, cloud security / DevSecOps, and detection engineering roles. Open to sponsorship.
