I’ve authored several acclaimed computer games, worked on large scale software projects, built hardware, created mobile device apps, and enjoyed being part of a successful startup.I’ve extensive experience in the identity, security and networking spaces from working at Cisco on products like Cisco Identity Intelligence, XDR / SecureX, Identity Services Engine and Access Control Server products.I have production experience of developing for AWS and Azure cloud services as well as experience in most of the mainstream computer languages (Typescript/Javascript, C#, C/C++, Swift, Java, Python, even assembler). I am comfortable developing for cloud services as well as mobile platforms, on-prem and client/server systems on a variety of operating systems.I am big fan and evangelist of AI and using AI for almost everything.
