About Me

Hi, I’m Khirawdhi Tanaya Ray.

I’m a cybersecurity professional with over 9+ years of experience in offensive security, cloud and product security, DevSecOps, GenAI risk, and compliance.

I work closely with engineering teams to embed security from the ground up as a partner, not a blocker. My focus is on making security practical, developer-friendly, and aligned with real-world needs. Whether it’s red teaming, threat modeling, or securing CI/CD pipelines, I aim to solve complex challenges without slowing innovation.

Outside of work, I contribute to the open-source community by building tools inspired by hands-on experience. For me, security is about more than defense it’s about enabling progress and building trust, together.

Beyond Security

Outside of my professional work, I’m a writer, seeker, and lifelong student of depth.

Through raw storytelling, I explore themes of identity, philosophy, and emotional healing. My writing isn’t crafted for perfection it’s rooted in truth, stillness, and experience.

If you’re building something meaningful – a secure system, a conscious team, or a space where people feel safe – I’d love to be part of the conversation.
