Top SchoolVikas Pushkar is a Technical Lead based in Bengaluru with 10 years of experience building security-first networking solutions, currently leading a team at Cisco to deliver Zero Trust Application Access for on‑prem corporate resources. He combines deep product and systems expertise from roles at Akamai and Cisco—spanning VPN, SSL/WebVPN, cryptography, and platform design—with early firmware and WLAN security work from Redpine and IIT Guwahati. Known for a pragmatic, code-first approach (70% reading, 20% debugging, 10% writing), he thrives on turning proofs-of-concept into production features and solving thorny design problems across WebServer, platform, and crypto layers. Beyond hands-on engineering, he blends architecture-level thinking with team leadership, mentoring engineers to ship secure, auditable systems at scale. An unexpected throughline in his career is frequent engagement with vulnerability testing and protocol-level integrations, reflecting a curiosity for adversarial thinking that informs his Zero Trust work.
