Senior🎓
Top SchoolAdam Meily is a Principal Software Engineer with 12 years of experience delivering pragmatic, security-minded software from low-level systems to modern web applications. He leads teams and customers through complex transitions, building extensible incident response and memory-analysis tooling that operate at enterprise scale while minimizing host and network impact. His background blends hands-on security research—work at Trail of Bits—and production engineering at Assured Information Security, where he also created a patent-pending protection framework for interpreted languages. Adam contributes to high-profile open-source projects such as Envoy and Cuckoo Sandbox, adding critical backend and security-focused improvements like XenServer support and permissive HTTP parsing fixes. Based in Springboro, Ohio, he pairs rapid, agile delivery with an emphasis on team growth, customer satisfaction, and squeezing practical operational value from advanced R&D. A less obvious strength is his habit of shipping tooling that supports both legacy and constrained embedded platforms, reflecting careful attention to real-world deployment constraints.
