• Integrated Uptycs Osquery fork for IBM AIX into the principal Osquery repository, created a Jenkins pipeline for CI, eliminated additional developer time spent on the AIX fork, and increased developer efficiency.
• Implemented heartbeats to ensure the osquery daemon is healthy on AIX using the POSIX shared memory API.
• Built a custom Yara-based file-scanning feature, which limits excessive memory usage when scanning large files, thereby making memory growth predictable when scanning huge files.
• Made Improvements to socket events and user events detection on AIX by using data provided by the Audit framework on AIX.
• Implemented full memory snapshotting on Linux without the requirement of a Kernel Module.
environments.
• Contributed to Uptycs CSPM platform by integrating high-volume security telemetry from multiple IBM Cloud services, including IAM, Container Management (Kubernetes & OpenShift), Key Protect, and Hyper Protect Crypto Services. Worked on services written in Go and JavaScript.
• Hardened internal services and shared libraries to handle IBM Cloud API quirks like pagination inconsistencies, and schema drift, enabling reliable, maintainable scraping of telemetry APIs at scale.
• Implemented risk and compliance telemetry decoration logic to identify dormant custom roles, over-privileged users and service IDs, unused API keys, and high-risk resources failing compliance checks
