Professional Experience
Designing secure enterprise systems, leading engineering teams, and delivering trusted digital platforms for over fifteen years.
Thales Group
At Thales, Mayank has been responsible for designing and leading enterprise-grade cybersecurity solutions used by financial institutions and enterprises worldwide. His work spans Identity & Access Management (IAM), enterprise authentication, FIPS-compliant cryptographic infrastructure, secure digital identity, cloud-native security platforms, and secure software architecture. Instead of simply building software, his role focuses on designing secure platforms that protect digital identities, transactions, and critical enterprise infrastructure in compliance with PCI-DSS and PSD2/PSD3 frameworks.
Architecture & Impact
- Designed enterprise-grade identity platforms serving millions of global customers.
- Architected secure, high-integrity authentication frameworks for complex enterprise deployments.
- Integrated Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) in compliance with FIPS 140-2 standards to secure root keys.
- Aligned transactional and authentication platform security with PCI-DSS and PSD2 compliance criteria.
- Led the migration of global banking and identity deployment suites toward modern DevSecOps pipelines.
- Improved secure software delivery pipelines by integrating automated security gate scanners.
- Reduced infrastructure and deployment complexity across cloud-native environments.
- Enabled containerized cloud-native deployments of high-availability security engines.
- Led technical architecture discussions and alignment across multi-national engineering teams.
