About

As a Senior Software Engineer at Virsec, I spearhead the development of vRule Engine, an innovative analysis engine that stops web-based cyber attacks with 98% efficacy and offers in-line protection. I also designed and owned a centralized probe management service that reduced customer turn-around time from 2 hours to 5 minutes for upgrading Virsec Security Platform. I co-invented and implemented vRule, a specialized domain specific language that reduced the downtime to zero seconds for updating attack detection algorithms. With more than 6 years of experience in developing large scale systems, I have exhibited expertise in product architecture, feature development, team management, and collaboration. I have worked on FICO Application Workbench, an advanced low-code PaaS product that enables web developers to significantly reduce development efforts by 90% and achieve one-click deployment. I have also conducted extensive R&D activities, evaluated feasibility and compatibility of various features, and improved the performance of critical microservices. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering from National Institute of Technology Calicut, and have multiple certifications in Java Cryptography, UML Class Diagrams, and Apache Kafka. I am looking to leverage my skills and experience to build systems at scale that solve real-world problems and create value for customers.
