Bachelor of Technology, Electronics And Communication; CGPA: 8.69/10

EXPERIENCE
Zscaler
Associate Software Engineer Aug 2023 – Present
C/C++, Java, Python, PostgreSQL
● Creation of a Content Distribution Service (CDS) tool which facilitates the propagation of changes from Master
Nodes to Slave Nodes. It enables seamless Service-To-Service communication using Protocol Buffers, with a
speed increase of 30%.
● Developed Shared Memory tools to enable runtime access and parameter configuration on the database in
Zscaler component’s, utilising PostgreSQL Native Client Library for a 25% efficiency boost.
● Used Redis to cache many Zscaler policies for Zprobe modules which reduced fetch time by 30% .
● Incorporated Session Handling features into Zscaler UI interfaces and implemented REST API endpoints.
● Enhanced Zscaler Internet Access’s DLP(Data Leak Protection) modules by processing customer traffic through
the Proxy-Server. Created Data Match templates for precise data identification, achieving a 25% accuracy boost.
Zscaler
Software Development Intern Feb 2023 – Aug 2023
C/C++, Java, Python, Bash, SQL
● Creation of automated database patches using SQL and Zscaler UI which increases update speeds by 20%.
● Integrated event-loop based programs and client-server models for testing and logging for use in tools utilising
Protobuf-C for serialisation and deserialization increasing performance by 25%.
● Developing a dumping utility for the Open Source Protobuf-C library, capable of outputting to a specified stream in
valid JSON format.
● Integrated debug logs and macro generation files to facilitate URL category retrieval in the Zscaler Admin UI
reducing log time by 20%.

PROJECTS
Linux Heap Memory Manager (Link)
C, Linux Syscalls, Makefiles, Static Library Files, Cscope
● This project aims to replace the sbrk() system call with fully mmap() system calls, offering reduced fragmentation
of nearly 30% by making use of virtual memory pages from the kernel for memory protection.
● The implementation includes XCALLOC and XFREE APIs to facilitate the allocation and deallocation process,
allowing seamless integration with any C/C++ program.

LightWeight Ciphers (Link)

Verilog, Python, C, Cadence Software
● Drafted the Research Paper which was accepted at IEEE.
● Implemented a lightweight yet highly secure cipher, which, when combined with the chip, prevents cybersecurity
attacks like Man in the Middle. The solution utilises elliptic curve cryptography and mitigates common attacks
by 100%.
SKILLS & LANGUAGES
● Concepts: IP/TCP/HTTP/SSL,Data Structures and Algorithms, Object-Oriented Design
