About

I recently completed my MSc in Cyber Security at the University of York, building on over three years of experience as a Senior Software Engineer. My background combines deep technical expertise in secure software development, cloud architecture, and vulnerability assessment with a growing focus on cyber defense and threat mitigation. At my previous role in the additive manufacturing industry, I led cloud-based product development, implemented secure authentication systems, and supported AWS cloud migrations using tools like Terraform, Docker, and CI/CD pipelines. My hands-on experience spans technologies such as Ruby on Rails, FastAPI, AWS, and PostgreSQL, complemented by practical cybersecurity research involving red-blue team simulations, SIEM monitoring, and forensics analysis. I’m now looking to apply my blend of software engineering, cloud, and security expertise to roles in Application Security, Cloud Security, or DevSecOps helping organizations build resilient, scalable, and secure systems.

  • Collaborated on a secure machine learning pipeline to extract chemical entities from patent documents; containerized and deployed models (Random Forest, AutoML, Biobert) as hardened APIs using Docker and AWS, ensuring confidential data processing and access-controlled inference endpoints.
  • Improved model reliability and accuracy from 82% to 97% by optimizing feature extraction using RDKit and Mol2Vec, while maintaining data integrity and provenance throughout the pipeline.
  • Discovered and documented high-severity vulnerabilities in InvensisPay, a payment gateway platform, using OWASP ZAP, JMeter, and Burp Suite. Led secure coding practices that mitigated risks and reinforced backend resilience against common web attacks.
  • Wrote secure backend services for Edstellar and Silaé ESG platforms using FastAPI and Rails. Implemented authentication flows and data validation to ensure compliance with secure coding standards.
  • Built UI components with a security-conscious design that reduced attack surface through input sanitization and secure session management practices.
  • Practiced Agile development with a focus on security. Integrated threat modeling into sprints, managed Jira workflows, and documented APIs using Postman to ensure traceability and security-by-design.

  • This was a start-up based in Bengaluru whose parent company was Reward360 Global Services.
  • 1. Hands-on experience writing features using frameworks such as Django, Sinatra, Rails and FastAPI. Some of them included :
  • (i) Django framework was used to build the prototype of OAuth 2.0 for delegating user authentication to the service.
  • (ii) Sinatra & Rails framework was used to build the micro-service for the COVID-19 campaign program. This program mainly focused on encouraging people to stay at home by rewarding them points on daily basis.
  • 2. Followed Distributed System architecture with the help of microservices and wrote Back-end API's for the micro-services using FastAPI framework.
  • 3. Was able to setup The ELK-(Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) stack to provide a centralized logging system where the logs from all the service would be collected at one spot and Kibana dashboard will be used to visualize the data.
  • 4. Using ORM's for database queries and Implementing Migrations tools such as Alembic on relational databases such as Mysql .
  • 5. Non-relational databases such as Cassandra and MongoDB was used to achieve distributed computing.
  • 6. Redis for In-memory storage i.e caching.
  • 7. Test suite such as Tox or Python test module was used to write unit test cases for each service before pushing onto the GitHub repository
  • 8. Deployments of Code on AWS staging servers.
