4+ years of experience engineering resilient multi-service backends, high-throughput systems (<50ms query latencies), and dynamic web platforms. Specializing in cloud-native architectures, real-time communications, and zero-downtime Linux infrastructure.
Investigated a live production multi-stage compromise across 17 applications, reverse-engineered an in-memory botnet payload, and built an automated host-level process interceptor while maintaining 100% service uptime.
- 🔍 Live Memory Telemetry & Malware Interception: Reverse-engineered in-memory bash droppers and designed a custom real-time Python
/procwatchdog daemon terminating unauthorized processes in <100ms before disk writes. - 🔁 Multi-Layer Persistence Eradication: Identified and purged complex persistence hooks across Linux kernel
udevnetwork triggers, midnight cron droppers, and corrupted shell binaries via out-of-band Rescue Mode. - 🏰 Kernel & Mount-Level Hardening: Enforced
noexec, nosuid, nodevmounts on/tmpand/dev/shm, applied filesystem immutability (chattr +i), and configured automated Fail2Ban 24-hour jailing. - 🟢 100% Production Uptime: Maintained uninterrupted availability across all 17 hosted web applications, MySQL/PostgreSQL databases, and real-time APIs throughout remediation.
