Principal Software Engineer | MCP Orchestration | RAG Workflows | Design-to-Code | Enterprise Identity
Role: Principal Software Engineer focused on enterprise identity and endpoint delivery. Scope: secure iOS, iPadOS, and macOS applications with MCP orchestration, RAG workflows, and automation pipelines. Impact: faster delivery cycles, stronger engineering governance, and measurable quality gains at scale.
At Palo Alto Networks, I connect secure identity platforms with AI-assisted delivery using ESSO/PSSO, zero-trust access, observability, and multi-agent orchestration to improve developer velocity without compromising security or operational discipline.
Hello! I'm Manoj Gadamsetty, a Principal Software Engineer based in Hyderabad, India. I focus on building secure, scalable systems that help teams deliver faster through automation, observability, and AI-assisted workflows. With 10+ years of specialized experience, I've helped global enterprises improve reliability, reduce manual effort, and modernize delivery pipelines.
Currently at Palo Alto Networks, I work on secure identity and workflow automation for enterprise products, combining platform thinking with practical delivery mechanisms such as observability, AI-assisted analysis, and test automation. I've conducted over 150 root cause analyses (RCAs), ensuring robust solutions that maintain service reliability and user trust.
My technical toolkit spans iOS (Swift, Objective-C), Android (Kotlin, Java), macOS, secure backend development (.NET, Python, Golang), and full-stack DevSecOps. I specialize in MCP orchestration, RAG systems, AI-assisted refactoring, test generation, security architecture design, and incident response. I'm deeply committed to secure software development lifecycle (SSDLC) practices and mentor senior engineers on practical AI-native delivery patterns.
Builds MCP orchestration, RAG-backed workflows, and automation pipelines that improve delivery speed while preserving governance and traceability.
Designs secure, scalable systems for identity, workflow automation, and developer productivity across mobile and backend surfaces.
Builds Skills Builder and multi-agent orchestration, design-to-code pipelines, and AI-assisted tooling that reduces manual work and strengthens feedback loops.
OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect (OIDC), SAML 2.0, FIDO2/WebAuthn, ESSO (Enterprise SSO: Entra ID, AD), PSSO (Platform SSO), and zero-trust architecture.
Architect CI/CD pipelines with security integration, SAST/DAST tools, threat modeling, code scanning, and automated compliance checks.
Combines code review discipline with AI-assisted analysis, automated validation, and traceable feedback loops for faster, safer delivery.
React Native, Kotlin Multiplatform (KMM), Flutter for enterprise POCs, plus reusable patterns for secure product delivery and experimentation.
Building RAG systems and MCP-based workflows for security automation, knowledge retrieval, refactoring, and test generation.
