Pawan Kumar — Senior Software Engineer
As a Senior Engineer in Data Platform at Sophos, I have been involved in creating a new Apache Iceberg-based data pipeline for our data lake. Before this, my primary focus involved creating a new batch detection framework using the data available in the data lake to help the threat hunters detect potentially customer-compromising detections before they happen. I have used my skills in AWS, Java, Spring, Python, Relational, and Non-relational databases to deliver high-quality solutions that increase transparency, accountability, and efficiency for our clients. Additionally, I have been mentoring 5+ junior engineers in software development best practices and enhancing their technical competencies. Before joining Sophos, I worked at o9 Solutions, Goldman Sachs, Eureka AI, and Samsung Research Institute, where I gained valuable experience in developing proprietary databases from scratch, building web applications, handling data pipelines in a large-scale system, building desktop applications, building user tracing systems based on their constantly changing geography, and building UX using cutting-edge technologies. I have a Master's degree in Computer Science and Engineering from IIT Kanpur and a Bachelor's degree in the same field from IIT Guwahati. I am passionate about exploring new horizons, taking on new challenges, and solving intricate problems in the software engineering world.
