If interested, learn more about me here

My 4-year industry experience gave me good exposure to design and development of storage filesystems (@KuokoaNetworks), building large testing frameworks in Perl(@IBM), developing gdb-based remote-debugging tools (@NevisNetworks), hacking gcc and binutils for supporting new processors(@NevisNetworks), testing security and developing cool security testing tools for malware and intrusion detection systems (@NevisNetworks). Along with that, I have done Malware Analysis and Binary Reverse Engineering as a hobby (purely for educational purposes).

As part of my coursework at USC, I have explored Trusted Computing, Machine Learning, Algorithms, Cryptography, Security Systems, Geometric Modelling, Advanced OS, Web Technologies (with security), Brain Theory, Software Architectures. At USC/ISI, i have dabbled(and still dabbling) with Diagnosis and Usability Problems in Networking Testbeds. I also had a brief brush with Federated Architectures.

Overall, I like to see myself as a Problem Solver than as a Domain Specialist . I believe my education and experience has given me enough thinking tools to attempt different types of problems.
