Software Development Engineer Intern at Rhythmflows Solutions
January 1, 2026 - June 30, 2026
Integrated HashiCorp Vault with a Django backend to securely manage 50+ client secrets, replacing plaintext environment variables as part of PCI-DSS compliance for live banking deployments. Led a 1-month VAPT remediation sprint (SISA Audit), resolving 12 vulnerabilities (4 high, 3 medium, 5 low) by implementing custom session tracking, RBAC middleware, and API-wide request throttling to mitigate DoS and PCI-DSS risks. Improved API performance for report generation by addressing N+1 queries, adding missing pagination, and creating absent indexes, reducing generation time from ~60 seconds to under 500ms (99%+ improvement) on 1M+ transaction reports. Built summary report workflows with frontend visualizations and redesigned file management to prevent direct DB modifications, reducing operational risk. Collaborated across frontend-backend workflows and security checks to ensure production readiness.
