Kartheek Dasari — Researcher

I am a Senior Python & Automation Engineer with over 5 years of experience building scalable cloud solutions, securing enterprise networks, and pioneering AI-native applications. I specialize in bridging the gap between deep infrastructure reliability and next-generation automation. Throughout my career at companies like Cisco and Bugcrowd, I’ve worn multiple hats—from engineering robust PyTest and aioquic frameworks for advanced QUIC/HTTP3 protocol validation, to architecting CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins and Terraform that slash deployment times from days to hours. I have a deep-rooted background in network security, validating IDS/IPS systems, tuning NGFW policies, and triaging complex vulnerabilities (XSS, SQLi, SSRF) for global enterprise clients. Recently, my focus has expanded into the cutting edge of GenAI. I actively leverage Large Language Models (Gemma, Qwen-Coder), local inference, and agentic workflows to build intelligent automation systems. Whether it's fine-tuning models on Hugging Face to parse security vulnerability reports or writing custom Python/Golang scripts to detect network anomalies, I am passionate about using AI to eliminate operational bottlenecks and scale cloud resilience. 🛠️ Core Specialties:- • Languages & Frameworks: Python (PyTest, Scapy, asyncio, aioquic), Golang, Bash, TypeScript, Robot Framework • AI & Automation: Agentic Workflows, LLM Fine-Tuning (Gemma, Qwen-Coder), GenAI Integration, Hugging Face, Local Inference, AI Threat Analysis • Cloud, DevOps & IaC: AWS (EC2, VPC), Kubernetes, Docker, VMware, Terraform, Ansible, Jenkins, CI/CD Pipelines, Linux Administration • Security & Vulnerability Management: IDS/IPS, NGFW (Snort, pfSense), Threat Modeling, Bug Bounty Triage, PoC Exploit Development, OWASP Top 10, DAST/SAST, API Security, Packet/Log Analysis (Wireshark, tcpdump, Nmap) • Advanced Networking: QUIC/HTTP3, TCP/UDP, IPv4/IPv6, TLS, DNS, DHCP, NAT64/DNS64, BGP, OSPF, VLAN, STP, Layer 2/3 Routing, Linux Networking Stack • Testing & Performance: E2E Testing, Scalability & Latency Optimization, Fuzzing, Playwright, Selenium, Breaking Point, IxLoad, Spirent • Databases & Methodologies: MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, MS-SQL, Clustering, Git, Agile/Scrum, TDD I am always open to connecting with fellow engineers, security researchers, and tech leaders.
