About

Hi! I'm Shumayl (👟 + 🛣️, shoe-mile). I build secure systems and occasionally yap about it.

I'm a Software Engineer on the Security Engineering team at Grab, where I work on automated vulnerability management. Before that, I developed cloud security guardrails (automated remediations) at Deloitte Global and worked on process digitalization at HP Inc.

I studied Applied Physics (Nanotechnology) at Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS, but these days you'll find me deep in AWS documentation instead of physics textbooks.

Physics degree ➔ Materials research ➔ Tech. Weird path, I know. I even co-wrote a paper on hybrid bioplastics during my time at the Materials Research Institute (now called PRISM) in Ireland.

Want to chat about cloud security, automation, or that one time I tried to make microwave-attenuating materials from shrimp shells? Find me on LinkedIn or drop me a line at shumaylasmawi@gmail.com.
