Founder

Tim is a Founder of Kashikoi. Before Kashikoi, Tim worked at Moveworks(ServiceNow) where he was responsible for securing 250+ enterprise agents. He built automated red teaming software that broke GPT-4, as well as guardrails and offline jobs to protect Moveworks' agents from attackers. For fun he built his own model which found vulnerabilities in macOS and iOS which he publicly discusses on his blog
