Roles

1st Feb 2025 — now · Bangalore

Associate Engineer , Enterprise Cloud Security

PwC

• Built an AI-driven Firewall Rule Analyzer supporting 3 vendors (Palo Alto, Cisco ASA, and Check Point) that ingests rule exports through CSV, XLSX, Panorama XML, and live PA API, normalizing them through a multi-stage expansion pipeline into an atomic, unified policy model. • Engineered a deterministic risk-scoring engine grading rules across 8 dimensions into a Weighted Risk Index and Critical/High/Medium/Low tiers, and extended it into a Policy Validation ("what-if") engine that scores proposed rules pre-deployment with risk level, placement, and fixes. • Built a compliance engine that maps rules to CIS and NIST controls with configurable internet-facing versus core-firewall checklists and exportable violation reports. • Deployed on PwC’s CDTR Hub as a firm-wide platform, enabling security teams to reuse the tool consistently across client engagements, delivering across global energy, telecom, and industrial clients, supporting a portfolio driving ˜$3M in firewall assessment revenue and cutting assessment timelines by 45 to 60 percent. • Built a Network Triage Agent integrated with ServiceNow and 2 LLM backends (GPT-4o, Ollama/Qwen3-8B) that autonomously triages incidents, runs diagnostics, generates validated multi-vendor configs, and delivers remediation plans with root cause analysis and impact assessment. • Built a Cisco RAG assistant deployed on PwC’s CDTR Hub that surfaces version-specific commands for exact device models during network cutovers, preventing outages from mismatched configurations.

• Built an agentic invoice parsing application using LangGraph that orchestrates OCR extraction across 5+ invoice layouts, validates 15 fields, retries on failures, and enforces structured output via Outlines for clean, parseable data. • Benchmarked 5 OCR models on field-level accuracy and cost, recommending Mistral OCR (˜90% accuracy, lowest cost), adopted into production feeding data into Tally and Zoho ERPs
