About Rigalis, Parth Patel biography and timeline
Hi! I'm Parth Patel (@rigalis), CTF player at THEM?! and Head of Research & Development at DJS ARYA. My work sits between systems and security.
I am 20.3333333 years old.
I care about how low-level systems actually behave, compilers, allocators, runtimes, distributed execution, and then designing calm, modern interfaces over that mess. CTF is still a big part of my days (pwn / reverse), but I think of myself as a systems person who uses CTF to stay sharp.
At ARYA I lead R&D around the CanSat program, structures and mechanisms, test campaigns, and getting a payload competition-ready.
