What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and allows me to work on cutting-edge technologies in a collaborative environment.

With over 14 years of experience as a backend developer, I have honed my skills in various technologies, particularly in cloud and container security. Currently, I work at Tenable, where I focus on enhancing container security by identifying vulnerabilities in container images and ensuring the scalability of microservices. My expertise in Golang, Kubernetes, and PostgreSQL has allowed me to contribute significantly to the development of robust security solutions.

Previously, I worked at Druva Data Solutions, where I developed a scheduler service and contributed to enterprise software for backup and restore of VMware virtual machines. My journey also includes significant roles at Symantec and Persistent Systems, where I worked on various security and scheduling tools, integrating third-party services and enhancing product features. I thrive in agile environments and am passionate about leveraging technology to solve complex problems.
