About Me

I am the Co-Founder and CEO of Consultadd Public Services, a government cybersecurity firm serving 50+ U.S. agencies across 46 states with 82 active contracts.

My story: scored 61% in engineering in India, rejected from a $400/month job, joined a 7-person startup as Employee #001 in 2013. Today I run an FBI-approved cybersecurity firm from the World Trade Centre in New York.

My company holds a rare combination of credentials: FBI approval, California DOJ approval, ISO 27001, SOC 2, CMMC-1, and I am personally CJIS compliant, a clearance rarely held by IT executives.

Our defining project: a California housing authority lost $1 million to a cyber attack. We won the 5-year recovery contract and rebuilt their entire infrastructure. 97% SLA compliance, zero downtime, 35% faster resolution within six months.

I am a Forbes Business Council member with three published articles on government cybersecurity and AI. Two-time USPAACC FAST 100 honoree with revenue verified by Ernst & Young. Selected for the DoD TIDE 2024 innovation shortlist by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense.

I bring high energy, real stories, and a practitioner's perspective to every conversation.
