Engineer by degree, innovator by heart — from research to real-world solutions, I'm ready to design the future of tech!
Experience
- Built and delivered a customer PoC for AI-enabled email Data Loss Prevention on the NVIDIA Morpheus pipeline — Kafka ingestion, Morpheus pre/post-processing, and Triton-served Llama 2 inference, visualized in a custom web UI (team of 2, lead).
- Developed a Sensitive Information Detection workflow with a fine-tuned BERT Mini model — MLDM data pipelines, MLDE training and model registry, Triton/KServe serving, Kafka streaming, and Splunk integration, with a continual-learning loop.
- Stood up the full platform end-to-end on HPE DL380a-class GPU servers: Ubuntu, RKE2 Kubernetes, Rook Ceph, MetalLB, NVIDIA GPU Operator, and KServe — deployed via Ansible AWX workflow templates and managed as Helm releases.
- Sole author of all 30+ Ansible AWX playbooks for HPE's SQuest Everything-as-a-Service accelerator — SBOM generation, vulnerability scanning, OWASP Nettacker integration, and deployment automation — collaborating with the France team via code reviews.
- Served on the frontline response team securing company assets and firewalls during the July 2024 CrowdStrike outage.
- Recognized as Best New Joiner among 400+ peers.
- Built a firewall configuration migration tool (Python regex parsers + web UI) covering 5 vendors — Cisco, Palo Alto, Fortinet, Check Point, Juniper — estimated by senior network engineers to cut manual migration effort by ~50%; adopted by engineers after handoff.
- Built an SBOM generation + vulnerability-scanning pipeline and OWASP Nettacker VAPT automation, later incorporated into HPE's SQuest accelerator.
- Researched Web LLM attack surfaces with Burp Suite and prototyped a chatbot for summarizing cybersecurity documents, mapping controls to NIST frameworks.
- Authored 2 award-winning internal technical white papers (HPE Parasparam 2024) on securing LLMs and container runtime security.
- Built a retrieval-augmented QA system over a large corpus of cybersecurity documentation using an Ollama-served LLM with a Pinecone vector database — reducing manual search time by ~40% per engineer feedback.
