Summary
Param Prabhakar is a Senior Software Engineer at Zscaler with nine years of hands-on experience building automation, system-level tools, and scalable applications. A PES University CS undergrad, he blends deep interests in machine learning (from linear models to MLPs and NLP) with practical expertise in network and system programming, UNIX internals, and Android app development. He routinely crafts automation and scraping pipelines in Python (BeautifulSoup, Selenium, scikit-learn) while using C for OS-related work and Java for larger-scale projects. Currently focused on an automated decision-making engine, he applies both data-driven ML techniques and pragmatic scripting to solve everyday problems. Curious about low-level systems, he studies the MINIX kernel and X Windowing internals in his spare time—an indicator of his appetite for making higher-level tools more robust.
