Akshay Sinha

VP - Engineering

I have around 16 years of technology experience with specialization in DevOps & Cyber Security. During this time, I have had the unique opportunity to work across various domains such as Government, Pharma, Oil and Gas, Entertainment, Them Parks and most recently Banking. While there have been a lot of projects that I am proud of, there were couple of them which have enriched my technical competencies and I still cherish them till day :

1) Developing an Cyber Security Data platform to automatically validate technology controls (CIS/NIST/CRI's/SSF etc) against the available data. Especially for banking, having this capability is really useful in estimating the firm's cyber security resiliency and risk posture.

2) Building middleware/infrastructure plant for Universal theme parks spread across Orlando, Los Angeles, Singapore and Japan. As part of this project I developed automated processes to build and manage middleware components like ISAM, WAS, Commerce, Cloudant, MDM, Unica, NGINX plants, DB2, microservices etc across various environments. The scale of the work quickly grew from one site to four global sites.

Tied to the first project I talk about above, I am really passionate about the idea of developing an open source/enterprise platform that can allow organization to look into their existing technology risk posture and measure it against publicly available Cyber Security Standards ( like CIS/NIST/CRI's/SSF etc). This capability is especially important for Banking and finance where more and more asks from regulators are coming from this space. Industry wide, I see a lot of opportunity in this area.
