San Francisco, Ca

Worked on a team that managed a distributed graph database that represented the state of the internet as we knew it, including security-related information, like which URLs/domains were malicious. The work was primarily in Java, with my individual focus being on processing streams of updates to the database, in a highly distributed and parallel manner.Additional responsibilities included: building middle-layer REST APIs that query the backend for user-facing data; building front-end tooling with Python, which included a framework for managing various internal and external feeds which fed the update streams; writing integration testing frameworks and creating test environments with Docker.Technologies used: Java, HBase, Kafka, ZooKeeper, Python, Docker, Puppet, Ansible

Assisted in improving security analysis tools which reported various information about OpenDNS's security graph. Some examples include a Python library, semanticnet, which wraps and extends a graph library for use in our 3D graph visualization tool, OpenGraphiti; additions to our internal web apps which query our malware database; a command line tool for querying our internal APIs; and various other tools.

Assisted the security researchers in automating common manual work, such as detecting false positives in CVE vulnerability detection. Created tools to help security analysts detect system changes upon software installation by footprinting key resources before and after installation—used by analysts to create new security policies. Created a web app used by analysts to help ensure system configuration policies adhere to national security mandates (from NIST, HIPAA, etc.).
