My time as a Sysdig Engineering Intern

During her internship at Sysdig, Tanya Sreenagesh experienced a transformative journey in which she developed technical skills and gained valuable life lessons while working on a significant project. Her internship involved building a data pipeline to classify Linux system calls as suspicious or normal, leveraging Sysdig's open-source tool and machine learning models. Despite initial challenges and uncertainties, Tanya and her co-intern, with the support of their mentors, successfully improved the model's accuracy to effectively detect and notify users of suspicious activities. In addition to acquiring expertise in technologies like Golang, Docker, and TensorFlow, Tanya learned the importance of setting realistic goals, embracing unconventional thinking, and the symbiotic relationship between research and experimentation. Her experiences were enriched by the mentorship and camaraderie of her team, making the internship both challenging and rewarding.
