About
Hi there, i'm Gaurav Sarraf! I’m passionate about building secure, intelligent systems that sit at the intersection of AI, security engineering, and detection strategy. Over the years, I’ve developed a multidisciplinary background spanning threat detection, security automation, AI/ML engineering, and cloud security, allowing me to design and scale defenses that keep pace with modern threat landscapes. My work blends applied machine learning with deep expertise in security operations and engineering, from automating detection pipelines and building resilient infrastructure, to deploying and governing AI models for security use cases. I’m particularly focused on LLM security & safety (OWASP LLM Top 10), AI-powered threat hunting, and platform architectures that make ML in security production-grade, auditable, and trustworthy. I bring hands-on experience across blue-team operations, detection engineering, and AI research, complemented by industry certifications including CCSK, CKA, CKS, CPENT, CCNA, CEH, AZ-900, and AZ-500. My career has been shaped by working in fast-paced security teams, contributing to both the technical depth and strategic direction of AI-driven defense. Beyond my core work, I co-founded ThinkRobotics, an award-winning technology platform, and now serve as an advisor. This entrepreneurial experience sharpened my ability to bridge cutting-edge technology with scalable business strategy. I thrive in environments where security and AI meet. Whether it’s defending complex systems, securing emerging AI models, or shaping the next generation of SOC automation.
