Systems Engineer (Python/C++) | Offensive Security | High-Frequency Infrastructure
The Vector 384 Philosophy.
I am Rudra Mahapatro, a Systems Engineer and the founder of Vector 384. While most build for the "happy path," I build for the war zone.
My work bridges the gap between offensive security research and production-grade infrastructure. Whether it's writing zero-copy parsers in Rust to shave milliseconds off a CI pipeline, or hand-crafting Windows-native firewalls in C to block SQL injection at the packet level, I focus on one thing: performance under pressure.
Currently, I am architecting algorithmic trading engines for the NSE markets and deploying defensive security tools for SaaS clients.
The Arsenal.
A zero-copy security primitive built in Rust designed to replace slow regex scanners. It bypasses performance bottlenecks by using memory mapping and parallel execution.
A fault-tolerant physiological anomaly detection pipeline for operating rooms. It processes real-time heart rate and SpO2 data without data loss.
A multi-threaded HTTP proxy written in pure C that acts as a miniature perimeter firewall. It inspects packets for SQL Injection and Path Traversal attacks.
A fully monetized "Personal SOC" that monitors digital identities for credential leaks across the dark web and public repositories.
Algo-Bot
High-Frequency Trading Engine
An event-driven algorithmic trading bot for the Indian Equity Markets (NSE). Features automated execution pipeline and risk-management kill switches.
Technical Command.
Capabilities.
Systems Architecture
I rewrite slow Python/Node.js bottlenecks in Rust/C++. Expect 10x throughput improvements and lower cloud bills.
- +Performance profiling
- +Rust/C++ rewrites
- +Memory optimization
- +Throughput benchmarks
Security Instrumentation
I audit CI/CD pipelines and inject automated security scanners (SAST/DAST) to prevent vulnerability shipping.
- +CI/CD security audit
- +SAST/DAST integration
- +Secret scanning setup
- +Hardening playbook
MVP Development
From database schema to deployed SaaS. I build the full stack—secure by design, fast by default.
