M-Shaped engineer · DevSecOps practitioner · Camarillo, California
I'm Dayan Raj — an engineer who has always been drawn to the full stack of a problem, not just one layer of it. My career has taken me from writing embedded C for IoT devices to leading DevSecOps practices at a fast-growing SaaS company in California. That breadth is intentional.
I describe myself as M-Shaped: deep expertise in multiple domains — embedded systems, cloud infrastructure, and security — with the ability to connect them. The most interesting engineering happens at those intersections.
At Rently, I lead the DevSecOps function: CI/CD pipelines, container security, infrastructure automation, and making sure what we ship is both reliable and secure. Before moving to California I spent years doing the same from Coimbatore.
