SYN→ handshake from Chennai, IN

I make networks talk back.

Hi, I'm Deepu — a product manager who still reads packet captures for fun. I build network detection, flow analytics and monitoring products, and tinker with AI and a slightly-too-large home lab after hours.

$ traceroute deepu

Every hop that got me here.

  1. [YEAR] · [EARLY ROLE / COLLEGE]
    Where the packets started

    [A line about how you got into networks — first router, first Wireshark trace, the moment it clicked.]

  2. Deep in the stack
    C++, Java, SNMP, IPFIX, DPI engines

    The engineering-heavy years — flow tables, protocol parsers and exporters. The reason I still argue about byte order in product reviews.

  3. Current hop · ManageEngine (Zoho)
    Senior Product Manager, ITOM

    Shaping Network Detection & Response, NetFlow/IPFIX analytics and network monitoring — plus patents, roadmaps and getting engineering, sales and leadership onto the same VLAN.

  4. Request timed out…
    Next hop: still being routed
$ ssh root@olympus

The home lab, where things break first.

A Proxmox host named after a mountain of gods, VMs named after the ones who live there, and a daily log of errors I'm weirdly proud of.

Open a socket. I'll ACK.
