About

Engineering leader with deep expertise in building scalable, cloud-native security solutions. Currently at CrowdStrike, I lead efforts to build world-class integrations for the Next-Gen SIEM platform — focusing on high-quality data ingestion, normalization, and seamless interoperability with third-party security products. Our work plays a critical role in enabling threat detection and response across diverse 3rd party enterprise environments. Previously at Microsoft, I led teams delivering enterprise-grade solutions for Microsoft Sentinel with a strong focus on reliability, customer impact, and technical excellence. I’ve fostered breakthroughs in content development, integrating 3rd party data, data normalization, building robust analytics, detections and security automations for SIEM platforms. My tenure spans security engineering at Microsoft, where I took part of developing big data platforms, SIEM and SOAR automation for efficient SOC operations. Prior, at Paladion (Now Eviden), I worked as Solution Architect for creating data and ML based products and solutions for fortifying organizations against security threats and frauds. I enjoy and thrive to solve security and engineering challenges for protecting organizations and people from cyber-attacks through innovations and by building cutting edge products. Apart from technical work that I always enjoy, my strengths include building successful teams with diverse skills in security domain with data engineering, machine learning, big data analytics, product engineering and security engineering. Especially I am good at / enjoy the most in developing platforms or products from the scratch.
