Sumit Suthar

Sumit Suthar is a Lead Software Engineer with over 10+ years of experience in application security, observability, and full-stack development. He leads the design of a next-generation eBPF-based observability agent, which instruments distributed systems automatically without any code changes. Before that, he built an open-source runtime security agent for Node.js from the ground up. It detects injection attacks, path traversal, and other vulnerabilities in live traffic.

His career has centered on runtime instrumentation and vulnerability detection. He has built dynamic instrumentation agents for Node.js and Java, runtime application self-protection tools, and security software for Docker containers. He has also researched new ways to detect and mitigate software vulnerabilities. He has worked with Java, Node.js, Docker, Kubernetes, and the Linux kernel.

Sumit is also an educator and writes for working engineers. His books include Kubernetes Simplified, Docker Simplified, and AI Agents for Software Engineers. Each one explains a complex technology in clear, practical steps that readers can use right away.
