Sam Banerjee
@sambanerjee
Full-stack software and AI engineer with cybersecurity expertise and data analytics focus.
What I'm looking for
I am a Full-Stack Software Engineer, AI Specialist, and Cyber Security Analyst with hands-on experience building production systems and security tooling. I combine strong programming skills in Rust and Python with practical web-development and systems administration experience.
My recent work includes developing a WhatsApp chatbot integrated with MetaAPI for natural-language real-estate queries and building a full-stack proxy management platform with a Rust backend, custom frontend, crypto payments, and an AI-powered firewall. I deploy and operate services on self-hosted Linux servers to maximize performance and control.
I have experience improving operational security and infrastructure resilience, including migrating websites to dedicated servers, implementing network- and application-level DDoS protections, configuring enterprise-grade email servers, and multi-layer spam filtering. I also hold an EC-Council Certified Cybersecurity Technician credential.
Academically I hold an MSc in Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics and a BA (Hons) in Accounting & Finance, and I bring a competitive, resilient mindset sharpened by semi-professional squash. I thrive in fast-paced environments and am driven to continuously learn and deliver measurable impact.
