“I worked with Karan in the Yahoo Paranoids - Incident Response team. Karan is been a valuable resource to the team and is able to work on multiple incidents and projects in parallel. He was able to work on forensic analysis and identify root cause in a relatively short amount of time. His scripting skills have been very useful during incidents. I would recommend Karan to any Infosec team that would like to hire a Incident responder with good analysis and scripting skills. ”
