Varun Biniwale

Hey, I’m Varun! I’m a computer science student at the University of Waterloo interested in systems engineering, developer infrastructure, and cybersecurity.

Most recently, I worked at Qumulo, building reproducible Nix-based builds and improving developer infrastructure for a large-scale distributed file system. Before that, I spent two summers on Scratch’s engineering team, working on performance, security, and tools for the moderation team.

In my free time, I participate in bug bounty programs, helping secure software for organizations like Google, Meta, and the Scratch Foundation. My work has been cited in places like The Verge and Ars Technica.
