• 1. Lead the Test efforts (Strategy, Planning, execution) from iLO s' Security perspective, for the new ProLiant Gen12SP (Service provider) platforms that were qualified and released to customers (ProLiant DL320/DL340 Gen12SP, DL380a Gen12SP) - This involved learning and working with features to support Data control modular hardware systems (DC-MHS) and the security measures in place to enhance the security of such systems.
• 2. Worked and collaborated alongside development and test engineers to qualify the confidence of iLO s' Security features to claim support for ProLiant DL384 Gen12, which consists of NVDIA s' GH200 superchip - which also included running NVDIA s' validation suite. This is required to certify official support of the platform from HPE-NVDIA s' side.
• 3. Worked on coming up with the overall test strategy, planning, execution and automation test support from a Security perspective for the new iLO 7 firmware support on ProLiant Gen12 servers - this includes many such existing Security features and newer ones such as support for:
• a. Secure Enclave - Dedicated security processor (virtual) embedded within HPE iLO 7, to provide an additional, isolated layer of hardware security to protect sensitive data and critical operations against advanced threats.
• b. PQC (Post-Quantum Cryptography) algorithm support by iLO 7 to protect against future quantum computing threats. These PQC features ensure firmware and communications are secure from attacks that could exploit future advances in quantum computing etc.
• 4. Have worked and collaborated with like minded folks to participate BU run Hackathons and site wide paper submission forums. One such idea related to the use of Generative AI with BMC was taken up beyond the Hackathon submission - Was submitted in HPE s' annual Technical conference TechCon 2025. The idea eventually was selected for a formal presentation in Houston, Texas. The same idea has been filed for patent grant and is under review for patent grant.

• 1. Started working as a Quality Engineering (QE) test engineer for HPE s' ProLiant Server baseboard management Controller solution called Integrated Lights out (iLO) specifically from the Security aspects and features developed around the same (Example features such as Two Factor Authentication over LDAP, Adoption to TLS 1.3, Enabling support for OpenBMC on ProLiant Gen11 servers).
• 2. Started to lead the test efforts from a planning, strategy, documentation, and test execution for the newer Security features that gets delivered across iLO releases and also for newer platforms released during the timeframe -> April 2023
