PROFILE

Rahul0216

Worked extensively on the Azure/Azure-Sentinel repository, delivering features and improvements focused on cloud security, CI/CD reliability, and code quality. Developed an AWS VPC Flow Logs data connector using ARM templates and TypeScript to enhance network visibility in Microsoft Sentinel. Expanded CodeQL static analysis coverage to GitHub Actions workflows, automated non-ASCII character validation in PRs, and maintained backward compatibility through disciplined code annotation. Addressed deployment reliability by updating ARM templates and improved CI stability by refining workflow configurations. Demonstrated proficiency in JavaScript, YAML, and PowerShell, consistently reducing technical debt and streamlining security and automation processes across the codebase.
