Professional Experience
Software Development Engineer I — CloudSEK
December 2022 – June 2025 | Bengaluru, India
CloudSEK is a cybersecurity company that monitors the internet for threats targeting businesses. I worked on AI-powered tools that helped the platform make sense of massive amounts of threat data — faster and more accurately than before.
-
Threat Summarisation at Scale: Built a system that automatically reads and summarises hundreds of thousands of security alerts every day, surfacing the most important insights to analysts in under 3 seconds. This cut down the time analysts spent sifting through data by 40%.
-
Spotting Fake Apps: Improved a tool that detects counterfeit mobile apps impersonating real brands — the kind that steal user credentials or spread malware. After the revamp, it correctly caught 92 out of 100 fakes.
-
Smarter Asset Monitoring: Built a pipeline that automatically checks whether suspicious online assets (like lookalike websites or stolen logos) belong to a client's brand — work that previously required a human to do manually. This saved the team 14 hours of manual effort every week.
-
Data Breach Detection: Created a model that identifies when a client's internal systems or employee accounts show up in data breaches leaked on the dark web, with 93% accuracy. This let the team generate detailed, actionable breach reports for clients.
-
Data Indexing Tool: Wrote a command-line tool that automatically processes and organises 100GB of raw cyber data daily, halving the manual work previously needed to keep the data pipeline running cleanly.
Software Engineering Intern — Vidyo.ai
January 2022 – May 2022 | Bengaluru, India
Vidyo.ai is a platform that automatically repurposes long-form video content into short clips for social media. I worked on the backend infrastructure that handles video uploads and processing.
- Restructured core backend services to handle more users at the same time without slowing down.
- Moved video storage and processing to the cloud, making the system more reliable and easier to scale.
- These changes made the platform noticeably faster — API response times dropped by 30% and video uploads completed 67% quicker.
Machine Learning Intern — Solus.ai
June 2021 – August 2021 | Remote
Solus.ai builds recommendation systems — the kind that suggest products or content tailored to each user. I worked on making their core engine significantly faster.
- Rewrote performance-critical parts of the recommendation engine in Julia, a language better suited for heavy number-crunching than the original codebase.
- The result: the system ran 60% faster on over a million data points, leading to quicker and more responsive recommendations for end users.
Community Manager — GDSC-VIT
Vellore, India
Ran the Google Developer Student Club at Vellore Institute of Technology — a student community focused on learning and building with technology.
- Organised workshops, hackathons, and events that gave students hands-on experience with real-world tech.
- Mentored junior students on backend projects, helping them go from idea to working product.
- Built a collaborative environment where students could learn from each other, not just from lectures.
