CI/CD Pipeline Enhancement | Python, Java, Redis, Celery, Docker, MongoDB, Kibana, ElasticSearch
Streamlined a critical CI/CD pipeline with Python, achieving 60% faster deployments and higher reliability.
Implemented Redis-backed Celery task queues, cutting API latency by 40%, added MongoDB/ElasticSearch monitoring to reduce root-cause analysis time by 50%
Ambrose Portal for Centralized Project Processing | Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, JavaScript
Led the development of a centralized portal
Designed and implemented a multithreaded, asynchronous API backend, enabling real-time processing of 100+ concurrent requests daily with 0 downtime, improving system stability under peak load by 60%.
Reduced average processing time from 10 hours to 2 hours per week by implementing a scalable microservices architecture, automating workflows, and monitoring system using Grafana, improving team efficiency by 80%.
Expiro File Infector Virus Recovery Tool | Java, Python, MongoDB, Flask
Designed and maintained REST APIs(Flask), microservices (Python) and recovery heuristics (hash-based integrity + repair rules) over MongoDB; processed 1,00,000 files/day with 95% successful recovery.
Signature Matching Language (SML) Portal | Django, Python, MySQL, HTML/CSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript
Shipped an internal SML authoring and lifecycle portal for 50+ threat researchers (create → test → deploy), replacing manual scripts and email handoffs, cutting signature deployment errors by 80%.
Built a versioned rules store and review workflow in Django/MySQL with RBAC, audit logs, and one-click promotion to the AV engine; cut signature release lead time from 12 hours to 3 hours (-75%).
Clean Data Management | Python, FastAPI, Selenium, BeautifulSoup, Kafka, MongoDB
Built a scalable FastAPI-based data ingestion system that crawled 10+ sources daily via Selenium/BeautifulSoup, downloaded and processed 150,000+ files/day using a Kafka–Celery pipeline storing MD5 hashes in MongoDB.
