Neil Patil

I'm Neil! I'm building Syntra.

I'm interested in helping businesses build and prove good security. I was an early engineer & product manager at Vanta and launched our first enterprise products to streamline security reviews and ingest security data. Back in college, I ran UT Austin's competitive cybersecurity team and a few CTFs... which is what convinced me there's a mountain of work in cybersecurity.

I also love vehicles and transportation logistics. I used to work on self-driving trucks, and during the pandemic, I cofounded a non-profit to deliver two million meals. I also got a Private Pilot's license in 2022 and enjoy flying locally around the Bay Area.

And before that... I stumbled onto the internet by building lots of apps during boring Austin summers.

I like running long distances, flying aircraft, and cooking overly extravagant, time-consuming-and-totally-not-a-form-of-procrastination meals.

Here's my Twitter, Github, LinkedIn, email, and favorite restaurants.
