Abhilash Gupta — Software Engineer

I currently live in Bengaluru, working as a Software Developer in Backend since August 2022. I finished up my masters in Computer Science at the Universität des Saarlandes. I was also a student researcher at CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security where I worked with the Software Engineering and, Usable Security & Privacy groups. Before that, I worked for 3 years on EX series switches as well as developing automation and testing software tools at Juniper Networks. My other professional experiences include a summer internship in 2014 at Samsung R&D Institute, Bangalore and a summer internship in 2013 at Wegilant Net Solutions, Mumbai. My projects have involved various computer languages and technologies including Golang, Java, C, C++, Python, Javascript, gRPC, Robot Framework and Docker. I graduated from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Bombay, Mumbai, India in 2015 with a 7.5 (out of 10) GPA majoring in Computer Science and Engineering. I have been teaching assistant in two courses - Usable Security at Uni Saarland and Computer Networks Lab at IIT Bombay. I was also the head of Department Academic Mentorship Program during my final year. My interests outside academia is in learning languages and (mostly military) history. I read a lot about historical events that shaped the world the way it is today. I have high proficiency in 3 languages - Assamese, English and Hindi. I also have working knowledge of 3 more Indian languages - Bengali, Bhojpuri and Telugu. I also know a bit of French (A1) and German (B1). Apart from this, I frequently go on treks and travel a bit. I am also very interested in sports and have represented my university, IIT Bombay, in Kho kho, an Indian outdoor sport. I was a member of the Uni Saarland Cricket Club cricket team.
