About

I hold a Bachelor of Engineering degree in Electronics and Telecommunication from the University of Mumbai, where I received a merit-based scholarship. I am currently a Senior Security Engineer at Flipkart, one of the leading e-commerce platforms in India. My core competencies include security assessments, network architecture, security standards, and PKI operations. In my current role, I have conducted comprehensive security assessments of diverse solutions, evaluating their architecture and configurations to ensure efficacy in dynamic threat landscapes. I have also led network architectural reviews, emphasizing zero trust security principles and role-based access control for critical projects. Additionally, I have developed security standards and guidelines aligned with CIS and NIST frameworks for various tools and technologies. I have also spearheaded security awareness campaigns and training sessions for internal stakeholders. I am passionate about enhancing the security posture of Flipkart and its customers, and I bring diverse perspectives and experiences from my previous roles as a PKI Specialist and an Information Security Specialist at McAfee, and a Security Operation Center Analyst at Atos. In these roles, I gained valuable skills and knowledge in McAfee Endpoint Security, McAfee Web Gateway, Juniper Firewalls, IPSes, SIEM, Forcepoint Firewall, Advanced Threat Detection, and secure software architecture. I have also completed certifications in Google Cloud Fundamentals and Managing Security in Google Cloud. I am eager to learn new technologies and best practices, and to collaborate with a team of security experts who share my vision and values.
