Curious by default, methodical by training.

// the short version

I'm Kartik Bhattacharya — a cyber security professional, penetration testing enthusiast, and Co-founder & COO at EthicBizz. I started with hardware, transitioned into software, and fell in love with the adversarial side of security.

Most of my work sits at the intersection of offensive and defensive practice: identifying vulnerabilities, strengthening system defences, and making sure whatever I ship — or advise on — aligns with OWASP best practices and applicable compliance requirements.

Outside of engagements I train aspiring ethical hackers, contribute to NGO awareness programs, and compete in security events like NASA's Pentathon, where I was a finalist in 2024.

// what I'm looking for

Collaborative environments that value continuous learning, hard problems worth solving, and teammates who share a bias toward responsible disclosure.
