About

Hi. I am Madhav. I'm a Lead, Software Development, AI at Security Compass, a leading cybersecurity company. I lead three teams (10 engineers) that build Agentic AI solutions for enterprise security teams and software engineers.

I can help you with:
Building agentic AI systems

- Designing agents that work in a real product: tool use, MCP, and deciding what the model should and shouldn't do
- Testing and evaluating agents so you know when they're wrong
- Moving your own work, or your team's, to AI-assisted development

Moving up as a software engineer

- Getting promoted to senior or staff. I've helped 10 engineers get promoted, so I know what a strong case looks like from the manager's side.
- Moving from engineer to manager, and working out whether you want to
- Learning to lead without the title: owning a project, influencing decisions, writing design docs

How I work:
I'm direct, and I'll tell you what I think. We work on your actual problem, like a promotion case, a design decision or a hard conversation. I don't follow a set curriculum.

Good fit: engineers building with LLMs and agents, and mid-level or senior engineers aiming for their next level or a first management role.

What happens when you start

You tell Madhav your goals. They see exactly what you want to work on before session one.

You meet within days. Madhav reviews your application and books your first session, usually within a day or two.

You leave with a plan. Concrete next steps and a weekly rhythm from your very first week.
