Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAsuman Kar is a Senior Software Engineer and applied privacy researcher with seven years of full-stack and security-focused experience, currently building scalable C#/.NET and Python systems for real-time energy trading at ENGIE in Brussels. With a PhD background in Web Security from KU Leuven and hands-on research roles at COSIC and Google, she blends rigorous empirical privacy research—browser extensions, large-scale web data automation, and privacy-by-design tooling—with production DevOps practices on Kubernetes. Her work spans backend systems, cloud-native deployments, and ML-enabled browser tooling (including an embedded model to detect login/signup pages), demonstrating a rare mix of academic rigor and production discipline. Fluent in automating privacy management and collaborating with legal/product teams on GDPR/CCPA alignment, she is as comfortable optimizing trading pipelines as she is exposing subtle online fingerprinting risks.
