Build Log
A raw timeline of production problem-solving, architectural pivots, and security patches. This is where the actual engineering happens.
Architectural Shift: Zero-Trust Telemetry in SentinelMind
Initially, SentinelMind's threat dashboard polled the database every 2 seconds. This introduced unacceptable latency (2000ms+). Rewrote the event pipeline to push telemetry over authenticated WebSockets. Cut P99 latency to 12ms and enabled instantaneous threat blocking.
Remediated Critical SSRF in CtrlB Engine
During a deep dive into the CtrlB observability control plane, I discovered an unauthenticated agent registration endpoint that could be leveraged to hit internal AWS metadata endpoints (169.254.169.254). Wrote a custom filter to strictly validate and block internal IP ranges.
Scaling FlowMatch State Store
FlowMatch agent state was originally stored in PostgreSQL. Under load, DB locks caused deadlocks on concurrent agent executions. Migrated ephemeral agent state to Redis, using Pub/Sub for UI updates, resolving the deadlock and allowing 500+ concurrent workflows.
Automated e-KYC Compliance for Sarathi AI
Integrated an asynchronous compliance agent that actively listens to the user-agent conversation. If the user mentions restricted terms, the compliance agent instantly flags the session and routes to a human operator. Decreased compliance violations by 100% in simulation.
Mitigated XML-RPC Amplification Vectors
Discovered an exposed XML-RPC multicall endpoint on a corporate WordPress cluster that bypassed standard rate limiting, allowing 1000s of auth attempts per request. Enforced a WAF rule to block system.multicall payloads entirely.
