Hello, I'm Trilok, a code-slinging software engineer with 4+ years of experience in Python, C++, and Kubernetes, now putting my Master's in Computer Security to work - because breaking things is fun, but securing them is better!
About me
I'm a proactive and results-oriented software engineer with more than four years of combined experience in software development, testing, and automation. I have a strong foundation in Python, C++, and C#, with a focus on developing robust, fault-tolerant systems and improving the tools around them. I'm currently a Software Engineer at TP ICAP, where I work on high-throughput applications and developer tooling.
At TP ICAP, I have worked on modernising a large C++ codebase, developing reusable logging and audit-trail systems, investigating production issues, and optimising CI/CD pipelines. My work has included a 32-bit to 64-bit migration spanning more than 50,000 lines of code and build-pipeline improvements that reduced build times by 30%.
In previous roles at Commvault, I worked across Kubernetes backup and recovery, automation frameworks, Linux diagnostics, and customer escalations. I enjoy collaborating with cross-functional teams, mentoring junior developers, and using agile ways of working to deliver practical, high-quality solutions.
I hold an MSc in Advanced Computer Science from the University of Manchester, graduating with Distinction and specialising in Computer Security. I care about clear, maintainable code and enjoy solving difficult systems problems where reliability, performance, and developer experience all matter.
