Summary
Pranav Ramesh is a founder and software engineer with nine years of experience building security-focused products and developer-facing tooling from the Philadelphia area. He founded CTFGuide to make cybersecurity education accessible and now runs Vyvern, an agentic platform that defends organizations against social engineering—reflecting a rare blend of product-led startup experience and practical security instincts. His background includes internships and roles across fintech (JPMorganChase), university labs, and startups where he shipped MERN- and React-based systems, improved operational efficiency by over 50% on a university inventory project, and revamped UX with Figma and Angular. Pragmatic and hands-on, he moves between engineering, product, and early sales efforts, and is assembling teams to scale Vyvern’s defender technology. Although early in his formal career, he pairs entrepreneurial grit with human-centered design training from Penn State, making him comfortable translating user needs into secure, production-ready software.
