Profile: https://flows.cv/krishnachaitanyagudipati

I’m a Software Engineer with 5+ years of experience building AI-driven and analytics-based solutions across security, automotive, and enterprise platforms.

At Ambient Security, I create AI and data analytics features for Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) to help organizations stay ahead of evolving threats. Previously at TruckX, I led the development of AI dashcam systems for real-time event detection and driver safety. Before that, I worked at Adobe, improving AEM search and performance.

I’m passionate about building intelligent, secure, and scalable systems that combine AI innovation with real-world reliability.
