About

● As a Staff Engineer at Versa, I manage and design various security solutions, including SSE, NextGen Firewall, GenAI enabled Firewall, and vCloud Service. I collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless operations, enhanced performance and innovation. ● Prior to this, I worked as a Competitive SASE Test Analyst at Palo Alto Networks, where I conducted Security and Functional tests for Cloud Delivered Security Services, automating processes and presenting data through Grafana dashboard. I mainly owned URL Filtering, Malware Detection, and DNS Security. ● Earlier, I was a Software Engineer Staff at Juniper Networks, where I developed a strategy to system-test the robustness and adaptability of Juniper Secure Edge, and owned the Principal Management service managing service nodes health and performance. ● I have also worked at FireEye (now Trellix), Fiberlink (now IBM) and Ixia (now Keysight) where I managed Security, Functionality and Networking Performance. ● I have a MSc. (Tech.) degree in Information Systems from Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani, and a certificate in Network Management from Nettech Private Limited. I am passionate about network security and always eager to learn new technologies and best practices.
