Building the systems
behind secure, reliable products.
I build backend systems, cloud platforms, and endpoint security features. At IBM, I lead the Mobile Threat Defense and Zero Trust engineering team for MaaS360.
Java · C# · Spring
AWS · OpenShift · Kubernetes
Kafka · Spark · OpenSearch
01 / Selected engineering work
Work across endpoint security, platform infrastructure, and the systems that connect them.
Search & security data
OpenSearch · Java · AWS
Designed and built the SDK and API layer connecting MaaS360 to AWS-hosted OpenSearch. It powers the Security Dashboard and Risk Rules engine across 29+ threat parameters.
The integration became a standardized library used across the platform. I also built a reusable OpenSearch integration library adopted by multiple teams and optimized dashboard data retrieval.
Endpoint security
Windows · Android AMAPI · Redis
Designed and delivered device quarantine for Windows and Android AMAPI. Led Windows Privilege Management and Risky User Tracking from proof of concept through production.
Administrators gained the ability to isolate compromised devices, while behavioral signals contributed to device risk scores. Redis caching improved the responsiveness of device-restriction lookups.
Cloud & platform engineering
ROSA · Kubernetes · AWS IAM
Led the Zero Trust module's migration to OpenShift on AWS as the primary technical point of contact, spanning deployment pipelines and application connectivity to managed cloud services.
Established deployment and integration practices that supported the team's move onto the platform and helped other engineers get started. Worked across IAM, MSK, S3, and Keyspaces connectivity.
Windows platform
Java · C# · REST APIs
Led the replacement of BigFix-based patch management with an OPSWAT-integrated solution, designing the APIs and delivering the migration within four months.
Preserved patch-management continuity for customers. Also delivered Windows Defender policy management and scheduled application distribution across the MaaS360 backend and Windows Agent.
Streaming & application modernization
Java 8 → Java 17 · Spark · Kafka
Took ownership of a Spark-based risk engine and its Java 8 to Java 17 migration. Worked on the surrounding Kafka, Spark, and OpenSearch pipelines for security event processing.
Runtime compatibility, stateful streaming, and reliable downstream writes, alongside the operational investigation needed to keep a distributed application running.

04 / About me
B.Tech, Information Science & Engineering
Bengaluru · 2008–2012
I'm an engineer who likes understanding the whole system.
My work often crosses the boundaries between application code, infrastructure, and data. I enjoy tracing difficult problems to their source, making considered changes, and leaving systems easier to understand.
Over 14 years, I've grown from delivering telecom software to leading engineering work for enterprise security. Mentoring, sharing context, and helping a team take ownership are a central part of how I work.
Trekking, bike rides, Coldplay, and Liverpool FC.
