Born Into Tech
Shrav Mehta is one of those very fortunate entrepreneurs to have been born in the Bay Area. He was birthed right into the Silicon Valley startup and tech scene, immersed in all the innovation that was happening, and found it truly inspired him.
By the time he was nine years old he was already getting into computers and coding. Computers instantly fascinated him. He loved playing with them, and taking them apart. Pretty quickly that turned into a love of gaming, and learning how to code for himself.
He pretty quickly learned about security, and both the good and bad of it. In high school he wanted to figure out his schedule, and know which classes had the hard versus easy teachers and so on, before signing up for them.
Shrav says that he found his way into the school’s scheduling software to help him do this. Not stopping there, he decided to help his friends by sharing the information with them as well.
Or course, when the school administration figured it out, he was called in by the principal. At first it looked like he was going to be in some trouble. Though some of the staff wanted to know the same things, and how to fix the system. It turned out okay, but that was a big introduction to security, and how he could actually be helping people.
