I’m a Staff Engineer building Linux endpoint security with eBPF, firewall enforcement, and production-grade threat prevention.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a staff-level Linux systems and security engineer with 17+ years of production experience across endpoint security, kernel-adjacent engineering, firewall enforcement, eBPF instrumentation, and deep incident RCA. I currently own design-to-delivery and production readiness for Threat Prevention and Firewall capabilities across release cycles at Trellix ENSL.
I’ve built and open-sourced two Linux security portfolio tools: Runtime Sentinel, a container runtime posture auditor with Prometheus/Grafana observability, and SHIELD-eBPF, a host-enforced, container-aware runtime security prototype using eBPF LSM/cgroup hooks with cgroup-anchored enforcement and ring-buffer telemetry. I lead deep RCA and secure release risk closure—balancing security semantics with production constraints, upgrade compatibility, and platform variation—while mentoring peers through debugging deep dives on Linux internals.
Experience
Work history, roles, and key accomplishments
Owns design-to-delivery and production readiness for ENSL Threat Prevention and Firewall capabilities across release cycles. Drives kernel-adjacent integrations and deep RCA (e.g., ODS hangs), and closes secure release risk through SAST/SCA and security-focused review practices.
Delivered enhancements across ENSL threat-prevention and firewall components, ensuring feature readiness, validation alignment, and regression coverage. Debugged complex production issues involving Linux process/threading, I/O/IPC, filesystem interactions, and security modules, and supported secure release readiness through SDL activities.
Owned backend development and maintenance for a Linux-based advertising product, supporting production operations, recurring fixes, and release stability. Built operational utilities/checkers for pre/post-deployment validation and production log analysis, and delivered SQL/PLSQL utilities for data fixes and database object maintenance.
