Founder, TechGeek UK
Karan Kumar
Karan Kumar founded TechGeek UK to turn difficult operational problems into working software, with product, delivery and governance decisions kept close together.
Starting from the work
- His perspective on operational software comes in part from his own historic training-provider experience, where inspection pressure exposed the limits of scattered evidence and spreadsheet-led processes.
- That experience informs the questions TechGeek asks first: what work is blocked, what evidence is missing, who owns the decision and what a useful first release must prove.
Published professional experience
Karan's public LinkedIn profile records long-running application security, cloud security and DevSecOps contracting work, alongside a cyber security training role. The following is a bounded summary of that self-published professional record.
- Security testing work across cloud infrastructure, web applications, mobile applications, networks, APIs, identity and access controls, and common OWASP and CIS benchmarks.
- Historic contracting work is described here only at role and discipline level; end-client names and outcomes are deliberately not presented as TechGeek proof.
- A Cyber Security Trainer role at QA Ltd from June 2017 to May 2018, covering ethical hacking, security analysis, open-source intelligence and application security topics.
How the work is approached
- Start with the decisive workflow and its constraints, not a broad feature list.
- Keep scope, access, risk, acceptance criteria and delivery ownership visible from the beginning.
- Use AI where it makes the work more useful, while retaining appropriate human review, evidence and operating controls.

Bring the operational problem, the constraint and the decision that needs to move. TechGeek will assess whether there is a credible delivery route before proposing a timeline.
