Hi, I am Ishaq — an Application Security enthusiast with a passion for developer education, advocacy, and Secure SDLC enablement

Nearly a decade in security taught me that breaking things is just the beginning; understanding how to help developers build securely is where the real impact happens.

I moved from bug hunting and pentesting to enabling teams: educating developers, building security programs, and embedding Secure SDLC and DevSecOps practices directly into the way products are designed and delivered.

Today, my focus is on scaling that impact through education, advocacy, automation and developer-first workflows, bringing security into the flow of development so teams can ship faster, with confidence, and without friction

This space is dedicated to sharing what I learn, showcasing my community contributions, and reflecting on key milestones in my journey.
