Hello World!,
My name is Albin Antony(user9747)đź‘ľ.

I’m a developer by profession and a serial tinkerer by habit. If it’s interesting, I’ll build it — game dev, web dev, security, a bit of AI/ML — whatever keeps the neurons curious.

Day-to-day I do full-stack: React/TypeScript, Golang, Rust, AWS/K8s. I like taking things from idea → architecture → code → “wow this is fast” → production. Bonus points if it involves browser security or extensions doing suspicious things.

Off-duty: movies, anime, F1. Also: co-op games with friends and sim racing on a joystick (yes, it’s chaos; no, I won’t stop).

[1.0] Experience

SquareX — Senior Software Engineer (2023—Present)

Early engineer on an industry-first Browser Detection & Response platform. I designed and shipped the dashboard (analytics, policy builder, user mgmt) and built extension-based security features. I run work end-to-end (reqs → prod), mentor, and help set engineering practices. TL;DR: fewer blind spots, more signal.

FinBox.in — Senior Software Engineer (2023—2024)

Spun up the team for Sentinel BRE; authored a DSL + runner powering drag-and-drop workflows. Adoption boosted Sentinel sales by ~50% and unlocked deep client customization. Also: design reviews, coaching, and tasteful “no”s.

FinBox.in — Full Stack Developer (2020—2023)

Built a highly customizable Embedded Finance Web SDK (React & Svelte) for KYC/lending/onboarding; shipped two production dashboards. Wrote a job system that took multi-step API flows from 6s → 50ms. Kept the real-time SMS/notification pipeline humming with better monitoring and query perf. Coffee helped.

Red-teaming tool showing how extensions can hijack authenticated sessions and exfiltrate identities with minimal permissions; covered by Cybersecurity Asia and SecurityBrief.

BSides Sydney ’25 — “Sneaky Extensions: The MV3 Escape Artists”

How MV3 extensions, even with locked-down permissions, can still pull tricks (clipboard, creds) — plus proposed defenses. Bring snacks; it’s a ride.
