# Vishrut Sharma

> Sr. Software Engineer at Ooma, Inc.

Location: San Jose, California, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/vishrut

I am a Software Engineer at OOMA with a penchant for software security and programming.
I also enjoy  learning about the  latest viruses, threats and how systems work under the hood.

Previously I have been a Threat Researcher at SS8 Networks where I automated the process of 
breach detection by experimenting with machine learning techniques and working to improve algorithms in order to minimize false positives to detect breaches. I also built RESTful webservices for their product - Breach Detect.

Being a bit of a hacker fanatic, I am always willing to stick it out and do whatever it takes to get the job done.
 
Apart from my responsibilities at OOMA , I enjoy problem solving on leetcode and learning about the developments in Artificial Intelligence.
