Hi, I'm a Githubber working on/with/in our Advanced Security Product. I work in the Field organisation, supporting our sales and solution engineering teams working with our customers Globally. I joined GitHub in September 2019 as part of their acquisition of Semmle. At Semmle, we made the most amazing Semantic Analyser I have ever seen, known as CodeQL.

Niroshan brings over 20 years of experience in the design and development of safety-critical and fault-tolerant systems.

In recent years, he has collaborated in the development of pioneering innovations in the field of DevOps and Application Security. This includes technologies such as application security testing, change-based testing, code fuzzing, and variant analysis for the hunting of 0-days in Enterprise Software.

Prior to GitHub, Niroshan led growth at Semmle, the company behind the CodeQL semantic code analysis engine, which powers GitHub’s Advanced Security code scanning capability. Microsoft/GitHub acquired Semmle in September 2019.
