Architected a high-performance, low-latency database activity monitoring agent using eBPF, KProbes and Kernel-level hooking - reduced CPU, memory and system resource overhead by 40% while maintaining real-time security telemetry across distributed production environments. - Designed and Patented a dynamic injection framework for kernel-level security monitoring, enabling runtime interception of system calls and process activity without modifying target applications. - Optimized Linux Kernel device driver performance through deep analysis of scheduler subsystems, memory management(page faults, allocation patterns), and concurrency primitives - eliminating runtime errors and reducing unnecessary memory allocation. - Led quarterly technical knowledge-sharing sessions(“Good Share”) and mentored engineers on Linux Kernel Internals, eBPF, instrumentation and secure coding practices - establishing technical leadership across the data security team.

About

I'm a Senior Systems Software Engineer at Thales(Imperva Data Security), with 7+ years building kernel-level C/C++ systems on Linux. Kernel modules, device drivers, eBPF-based telemetry that observes every database query on a system. Architected DB monitoring agent - built on eBPF, Kprobes and syscall hooking - improved CPU and memory overhead by 30% in production environments. I designed and patented a dynamic injection framework for kernel-level security monitoring: runtime interception of system calls and process activity, without modifying the target application. Currently working toward upstream Linux Kernel contributions in BPF subsystem. I'm drawn to: problems where microseconds are the product - whether that's threat detection, trading systems, or moving data through the kernel faster than anyone thought it should go.
