Hrishi Bhat / Builder, operator & teacher

I turn difficult problems into working systems.

I’m Hrishi. I build AI workflows and teach non-technical professionals how to use them, with results they can check. My work spans security operations, AI systems, and eight years running an academy.

Selected work

I build the systems.
And run the work.

Work spanning 250+ security engagements, AI systems, and education.

Cantina / Bug bounties, AI & operations

Leading bug bounties at Cantina.

I lead bug bounties at Cantina, where the platform hosts programs for 50+ clients. I also work on AI workflows and operations: I write the operating procedures, then build the AI triage systems and internal agents that carry them out.

Inside the work

The work. Own programs from scoping and rule design through researcher coordination, client communication, and payout decisions.

What I build. AI triage systems and agents for intake, reporting, and coordination, alongside the operating procedures they follow.

Where judgment stays human. Make the final call on whether a finding is valid, how severe it is, and whether it duplicates another report.

Teaching for independent use.

How I work

Understand it.
Build it.
Make it teachable.

Start with the work as it happens. Find the waiting, the repeated decisions, and the missing context.

Build a small, useful change. Check what happened. Make the reasoning visible so another person can question it, use it, and improve it.

The person with the context keeps the final judgment.

A little about me

A teacher at heart.
Curious by nature.

My path runs through physics, teaching, software, security, and AI. The thread is an interest in how things work, and how to make that understanding useful to someone else.

Meditation, yoga, and philosophy are part of my life, too. They remind me to notice assumptions and give difficult questions the attention they need.

What are you
working on?

A process that keeps breaking. A decision that keeps circling. A team that needs a clearer way to work.
