Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDarshan Chaudhary is a Cyber Security Engineer based in Mumbai with 12 years of hands-on experience securing enterprise networks and troubleshooting complex UTM and firewall environments. He blends deep operational know-how—VPN, IPS/IDS, DLP, URL/App filtering, HA, and syslog diagnostics—with backend development experience, enabling pragmatic fixes that bridge security and engineering teams. Darshan is an active open-source contributor, improving code quality and robustness across high-profile projects such as Cilium, Prometheus, Argo CD and heimdall, where he enhanced stability, performance, and client customization. His work on eBPF-based Cilium and Prometheus’ numerical stability shows a focus on low-level reliability and observability not often found in pure security roles. Comfortable coordinating with development teams and writing clear docs and tests, he brings a mix of technical support, DevOps sensibility, and software craftsmanship to incident prevention and remediation. Fluent in both operational defense and backend engineering, he turns root-cause analysis into durable, production-ready fixes.
