◯ ☽ Computer Scientist ◐ Software Developer ◑ Research Engineer ❨ ☼

✧ Keerthana works at the intersection of AI, Distributed Systems, & Correctness; exploring how large-scale intelligent systems can be made more reliable, interpretable, & aligned with design intent.

• Her work integrates research-driven inquiry with production-grade engineering. She currently works at AWS in the Threat, Security & Vulnerability Management team for Amazon-Linux ( AL12, AL1, AL2, AL2023, etc.) in EC2's Kernels & Operating Systems org ( KaOS )

✧ Keerthana has developed deep expertise in threat modeling & remediation, i.e, detecting new bugs & patching them; across more than 1,500 CVEs for multiple Amazon Linux (AL) distributions.

• These threat detections & patches regularly touched every single one of the millions of AWS instances deployed globally including EC2 servers, AWS hypervisors, etc., during AL's fortnightly security releases.
• Also involved orchestrating automated tests spanning various linux VM instances offered by AWS averaging monthly bills in the range of $15k - $50k / month for packages whose vulnerability lifecycles she's managed end-to-end;
• This non-exclusively includes packages like docker, kernel, openssl, nss, python, java, mozilla, etc., amongst those seen in the AL2023 release notes : docs.aws.amazon.com/linux/al2023/release-notes/all-packages-AL2023.9.html, & more).

✧ She is a full-stack SDE with expertise in cybersecurity, cloud, NLP, & statistics. At AWS, she has integrated AWS CDK, C, Rust, Python, JavaScript, node.js, most major AWS tools & services, APIs, containers & shells, load-balanced edge-APIs & Lambdas running high frequency, global, federated, throttled workflows orchestrating async requests to collect critical threat data as soon as they're released & accurately evaluating them without delays to streamline & reliably execute engineering workflows & builds predictive automation tools for CVE evaluation, designs scalable cloud infrastructure, & supports threat detection for Amazon Linux.

✧ Keerthana's niche in AI, NLP, & computational statistics enables her to apply rigorous statistical methods to security analysis, threat modeling, & security R&D. She has also contributed significantly to system design efforts, ensuring that critical security information is incorporated effectively into real-world defenses. With a strong computer science foundation from UCSD, she has built skills across NLP, recommender systems, cloud architectures, & has published research. She is seeking impactful roles where she can drive innovation at scale.
