I'm currently a software engineer at Harness , working at the intersection of security and AI. In my spare time, I'm a core contributor to the open-source project ZAP .

I love computers and everything to do with them. I use this blog to write about programming, hacking, and ideas I find interesting. The views expressed here are my own.

My handle ricekot comes from my name. “Akshath” (अक्षत, /ʌkʃəθ/) means “rice” in Hindi. “kot” comes from my surname “Kothari” (कोठारी, /kotʰari/).
