He led his first company, DCHQ, a cloud management startup, to acquisition, and later founded APISec.ai, which developed one of the first API security scanners. Before founding HoundDog.ai, Amjad served as the VP of Product at Cyral, a data security platform that
implements security controls on production data. His experience at Cyral, coupled with significant feedback from security and privacy teams frustrated by the prevalent reactive approach to data security and privacy—which often remains unaligned with evolving codebases—inspired him to start HoundDog.ai.
