My name is Akshath Kothari. I'm currently working on security stuff at Harness , and I'm also a core team member for the open-source ZAP project.

I use this blog to document any interesting ideas I encounter and to write technical posts related to programming, mathematics and engineering. The contents of this blog reflect my personal opinions.

My handle ricekot may be broken up into “rice” and “kot”. My first name, “Akshath” (अक्षत, /ʌkʃəθ/), means “rice” in Hindi. “kot” is nothing but the first three letters of my last name, “Kothari” (कोठारी, /kotʰari/).
