Shreyansh writes about automotive cybersecurity, safety-critical engineering, ISO/SAE 21434, embedded systems, and the practical engineering decisions behind critical vehicle programmes.
Founder & CTO of Agnile Technologies, where he leads the company's automotive cybersecurity engineering practice and directs development of KAVACH — Agnile's AI-assisted ISO/SAE 21434 workspace for automotive cybersecurity engineering. His focus is the intersection of systematic threat analysis and machine-readable work products.
He is certified for ISO/SAE 21434 and works day-to-day on TARA methodology, STRIDE-style threat modeling for vehicle E/E architectures, and the UNECE R155 CSMS evidence package. His technical interests span AUTOSAR Classic and Adaptive platforms, HSM-backed secure communication, and how AI-assisted tooling structures the cybersecurity workflow without eroding engineer-in-the-loop review.
