About

Smit N. Shah

Developer first, security specialist by hard experience, founder by conviction — I have spent two decades building software, breaking it safely, and leading the teams that do both.

My story

With over 20 years of experience in application development, security, and management, I bring a holistic perspective to every project: 15+ years in development across roles from developer to architect, and 5+ years specializing in security — code reviews, penetration testing, threat modeling, and risk mitigation for some of the highest-risk applications in banking.

That dual background shapes how I work today. At Dexian, embedded with JM Family Enterprises — a $20+ billion automotive leader — I help establish enterprise AI, DevSecOps, and agentic development standards, and I lead delivery of the BA-QA Genie AI product under Mosswall Technologies. I define how AI agents collaborate, reason, validate outputs, and integrate safely into enterprise SDLC processes.

In parallel, I have run my own SaaS company since 2012. As Founder & CTO of Simple Dealer Suite, I grew a single tool into a 13-module platform used by dealerships across the US, Canada, Europe, and Australia — making every product, prioritization, and customer decision myself for over 13 years.

I hold cloud certifications for AWS and Azure and secure-coding credentials from SANS. My work has included eCommerce platforms such as IBM WebSphere Commerce and nopCommerce, enterprise HR systems at Walmart scale (1.4M employees), and critical banking applications that move trillions of dollars a year.

How I work

Build + break

Development and security are one discipline. I review code the way an attacker reads it, and build the way a defender hopes for.

Numbers first

Decisions by data, not narrative. If the numbers change the call, I re-run the comparison — in products, platforms, and markets.

Ship and sustain

Anyone can launch. I have kept a revenue-generating platform alive and growing for 13+ years while holding senior enterprise roles.
