About
Mobile and application security since 2012. Started on the offensive side: kernel work, runtime evasion, RASP bypasses. Wrote AFE, Devknox, and KnoxSpy. Credited in CVE-2013-0926, a WebKit sandbox escape on iOS and Android. Hall of Fame credits at Google, Apple, Facebook, and Microsoft. BlackHat since 2012: speaker, trainer, Arsenal. Other talks at DEFCON, BSidesSF, OWASP AppSec, RSA, SyScan, Nullcon, and others. Recent on arXiv: SecLens, a multi-stakeholder framework for evaluating LLMs at security vulnerability detection.
Was CTO at the start, then CEO from late 2024. Doubled the business during the CEO stint. Started on the next problem in early 2026: making AI usable inside security teams without making security worse.
