• As part of the Microsoft's CASB platform, Defender for Cloud Apps, here's the summary what I worked on:
• ● Owned and modernized 2 core platform components, supporting 400 million weekly sign-ins, expanding test coverage by 50%, resolving critical reliability issues, and leading infrastructure consolidation.
• ● Automated 100% of certificate and secret rotations across 5 critical flows (e.g encryption certs, CDN access tokens), enabling zero-downtime, no-touch key vault rotations and eliminating rotation related incidents.
• ● Executed 30+ stress and load tests using JMeter and Azure Load Testing to uncover infrastructure bottlenecks and validate auto scaling strategies—boosting system resilience and determining platform-wide scaling policies.
• ● Reduced infrastructure costs by ~20% through design and validation of autoscaling configurations, with reusable patterns applied across multiple service components to support broader cost optimization.
• ● Led 10+ security & compliance initiatives including adoption of Managed Identity based authentication, secure secret storage practices, and deprecation of legacy auth libraries — ensuring alignment with enterprise-grade security
• standards across 5 services.
• ● Improved observability across multiple components by adding 20+ custom metrics and monitors, including logger-based metrics—reducing mean time to detect (MTTD) by an estimated 40% and enabling faster incident response.
• ● Resolved 30+ critical Customer Reported Incidents including step-up auth gaps, URI misconfigurations, and multi-tenants access issues with Microsoft Teams—improving product stability, security, and user experience.
• ● Employed AI tools such as LLMs and Copilot Agents to drive development optimizations and effective automations
