About Me

Udit Gupta

I'm a Principal Software Engineer at Palo Alto Networks, where I architect scalable microservices and AI-driven security systems. My career spans leading tech companies including Meta, Amazon, Hewlett-Packard, and Apple (via Infosys).

I specialize in designing high-throughput data pipelines, cloud-native security platforms, and ML infrastructure. From building RAG-powered co-pilot systems at Meta to architecting distributed ad-tech at Amazon, I thrive on solving complex engineering challenges at scale.
