I have been working as a Site Reliability Engineer at Charles Schwab since June 2024. I leverage my cloud infrastructure, automation, and security expertise to enhance system reliability, availability, and operational efficiency. My work focuses on incident management, observability, vulnerability compliance, and infrastructure automation to ensure seamless and scalable services.

Previously, I was a Ph.D. researcher and teaching/research assistant in Cyber Security at the University of Houston, where I worked on Adversarial Reconnaissance, Cyber Deception, and IoT Security. I have hands-on experience in Linux system administration, network security, and cloud technologies, with multiple Red Hat and cloud certifications.

I am passionate about building scalable, secure, and resilient infrastructure while integrating DevSecOps best practices. One of my recent projects, a Vulnerability Compliance Dashboard, provides real-time insights into security compliance for 2600+ production servers and patching trends.

Core Expertise

✔️ Site Reliability Engineering – Incident response, observability, automation

✔️ Cloud & Infra – GCP, Kubernetes, Anthos, Open Stack, Red Hat/Windows platforms

✔️ Security & Compliance – Vulnerability management, system hardening

✔️ Languages – Python, Shell

I have started my #100daychallenge for learning and sharing resources on Site Reliability Engineering. I will be sharing my journey as a blog post under the tag '#100daysofSRE' on my blog. You can navigate the list of contents on my Medium post or this GitHub Repo.
We have submitted a new paper entitled "SoK: The MITRE ATT&CK Framework in Research and Practice" at a cyber security conference. The preprint is available on Arxiv. In this work, we explored the use cases and applications of MITRE ATT&CK in Academic Research and Industry. Feel free to read and cite the work if relevant.
I have started writing on the Medium Blog Platform. Follow me here. I have also started publishing a weekly newsletter on Substack with my updates and learning journey. Feel free to subscribe here.
I started a new GitHub Repository entitled CyberSecurity Concepts in Python to provide different security concepts in Python. Blog Posts are also available alongside codes. Please find the links in the README.md file. Find more posts on shantoroy.com.
