Ilya Brykau

Built an engineering team from scratch with the engineering director, including hiring and leading system design interviews for senior candidates. Took the eBPF runtime sensor from an initial proof of value to general availability, driving major product scope such as runtime vulnerability management and file integrity monitoring. Expanded sensor coverage with a Windows sensor and serverless components, and delivered AI traffic visibility and real-time threat detection. Helped scale for regulated environments by shipping into FedRAMP and air-gapped setups and rebuilding the ingestion pipeline for higher sensor volume.

Led the team responsible for on-demand disaster recovery and migration, moving customer on-prem servers to Azure. Supported design and implementation of continuous restore capabilities using standby images to enable faster failover from near-current backups. Conducted security design reviews for related platform teams and helped align delivery with reliability and security requirements.

Developed continuous restore (standby image) for disaster recovery across on-premises, VMware ESXi, and Azure so failover could start from an up-to-date copy. Implemented and maintained backend services in Python and supporting recovery applications. Focused on throughput and reliability improvements required to keep backup streams consistent as volumes grew.

Worked on disaster recovery features for Cove Data Protection, including on-demand recovery and migration flows. Implemented parts of the backend services in Python and desktop recovery applications in C++ to support restore automation and execution. Contributed to security-focused reviews and integration of components required for reliable customer failover.

Delivered customer features for Vyble including shift planning, live time tracking, and payroll-related calculations for German compliance. Implemented backend logic in Python to support operational workflows and reporting needs. Owned parts of feature delivery from requirements through implementation and integration with the existing product.

Built parts of a vulnerability management platform based on Qualys agents, focusing on integration and reporting. Developed a container security integration that aggregated Qualys agent data for vulnerability reporting, including SSO and data lake integration components. Contributed to reliability and usability of the platform’s security data pipelines for downstream consumers.
