About Hex Security

Hex Security (now rebranded as Parameter) is an agentic offensive security company that builds AI agents to autonomously run continuous penetration tests against web applications, APIs, and infrastructure. Instead of traditional once-a-year pentests, their agents operate 24/7 to find, chain, and validate critical vulnerabilities with reproduction steps and remediation guidance. The company is a Y Combinator W26 batch member based in San Francisco.

Co-Founder, Hex Security. Previously, I was building robots that learned from each other by sharing skills on-chain, and researching World Models that give robots complete environmental understanding. Our robot became the first in history to ring the NASDAQ bell. I studied Math at University of Waterloo.

Co-Founder @ Hex Security At Codegen, I built asynchronous coding agents that improved the workflow of developers, and even got non-developers writing production software. At AMD, I built infrastructure for MI300 GPU firmware testing. I competed internationally in piano, winning multiple competitions and performing with orchestras like the Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra.

Huzaifa Ahmad

Co-Founder, Hex Security. Previously, I built software at companies like PlayAI, AWS, and Capital One. On the side, I built consumer apps that reached millions of downloads. But I've always loved breaking things just as much as building them. In college, I reverse engineered every major ATS platform and built Talently, a tool that sent over 200K job applications. Now we build AI that hacks before attackers do.
