Hi, I’m Bharat Kishore, Chief Evangelist at AppSecEngineer and we45. I’ve spent close to a decade in the wild world of Application Security—educating teams, building secure architectures, and convincing developers that Defensive AppSec isn’t just a buzzword, it’s a lifestyle.

I focus on making security practical: from automation and DevSecOps to secure design and hands-on training that actually sticks. My goal? Help software teams build the skills and mindset needed to own their security long-term—not just during audits.

When I’m not talking about threat models or breaking CI/CD pipelines (on purpose, I promise), I’m probably deep in a video game. I’ve been gaming since I was 8, occasionally modding them just to keep things spicy. If you've ever wanted to learn DevSecOps through Skyrim metaphors, we should definitely talk.
