ABOUT NIKHIL KUDACHE
I am a Master’s in Computer Science candidate at USC and a Lead Research Engineer at the USC HTI Lab. Currently, I am architecting secure cloud data systems for a $1M Verizon research initiative, where I design Knowledge Graphs and implement serverless Azure architecture (Azure Functions, SAS tokens) to manage sensitive data access.Previously, as an Analyst at Deloitte, I specialized in DevSecOps and automation. I engineered Python and Terraform modules to integrate security scanning (Checkov, Prisma Cloud) into CI/CD pipelines—an initiative that reduced manual operations by 20 hours per week and earned me the Applause Award.My expertise lies at the intersection of Cloud Infrastructure, Backend Engineering, and Security. I am passionate about building \"secure-by-design\" systems that scale.
