udaya vijay anand. columbia, know, perplexity, kpmg, dbs, purdue, wpi, unilever.

## roles

- **research assistant · columbia** ('26–): ai agents: browser-use latency + speed optimisation.
- **co-founder & CTO · know** ('25–'26): B2B network intelligence. a team's linkedin networks as one searchable graph: semantic search, warm-intro paths, multi-tenant RLS. with @satyam. closed may '26. · https://useknow.io
  - deployed on aws (ecs, rds, elasticache) with terraform, cloudfront and blue-green github actions; 99.9% uptime.
  - multi-tenant isolation via rbac, jwt auth, row-level postgres security and api-key scoping across a react typescript frontend, a fastapi async backend and postgresql with vector search.
  - stack: aws, terraform, github actions, react, typescript, fastapi, postgresql, pgvector, rbac, jwt
- **campus strategist · perplexity** ('25): drove Comet sign-ups via campaigns, demos, workshops.
- **cyber defence & IR · KPMG india** ('25): IR triage + malware analysis. SIEM detections mapped to MITRE ATT&CK (+30% coverage). AI safety guardrails middleware across 5 LLM providers, 25–40 TPS at sub-500ms P95.
  - engineered and led a hackathon-to-production deployment pipeline: docker containerisation, ci/cd automation, a prometheus monitoring stack, observability with structured logging; under 1000 ms p95 response times.
  - performed incident response triage and malware analysis across phishing and windows exploitation scenarios; integrated siem detection rules mapped to mitre att&ck, improving detection coverage by 30%.
  - architected asynchronous middleware processing 25 to 40 tps with distributed caching, redis session management and kubernetes-orchestrated horizontal scaling, supporting 20+ concurrent websocket connections.
  - developed cross-platform ai safety guardrails middleware (react typescript, fastapi services, electron) with multi-provider llm orchestration across 5 apis.
  - stack: python, fastapi, react, typescript, electron, docker, kubernetes, redis, prometheus, siem, mitre att&ck

  - led the poc of rapid7 insightvm and insight agent for authenticated scans, streamlining manual vulnerability assessment to meet rbi regulations; detection speed up 25%.
  - engineered a python scraper extracting 70k+ nciipc vulnerabilities and cve details with anti-crawler ip rotation, and an openpyxl/pandas pipeline producing rbi-compliant reports; manual effort cut 50%.
  - conducted monthly wifi and web application assessments against the scraped cve set with burp suite, nikto and wireshark, aligned to the owasp top 10.
  - stack: rapid7, python, pandas, openpyxl, burp suite, nikto, wireshark, owasp
- **TA · purdue** ('24–'25): CNIT 176 + 271 (IT architecture, cybersecurity fundamentals). designed 22 hands-on labs on TCP/IP, linux admin, hardening for 75 students (+15% scores).
  - cnit 176 and cnit 271 (it architecture, cybersecurity fundamentals ii), jan 2024 to aug 2025: hands-on laboratory sessions for 75 students with custom network simulation exercises and distributed systems configurations.
  - stack: tcp/ip, linux administration, system hardening
