Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAlexandre Beaulieu is a Staff Software Developer and Tech Lead with 13 years of experience blending low-level systems engineering, security research, and hands-on leadership at Genetec and GoSecure. He excels at reverse engineering, pentesting, and rescuing production systems—from assembly-level debugging and memory forensics to architecting maintainable C#/C++ services. An active open-source contributor, he has improved security tooling and CLI ergonomics in notable projects like pyrdp and linode-cli, and hardened offensive tooling such as a widely used password-spraying toolkit. Trilingual in English, French, and Japanese, he pairs a developer’s curiosity with a security-first mindset and a knack for turning puzzling incidents into repeatable fixes. Outside work he’s a triathlete and caffeine-fueled tinkerer who treats complex bugs like puzzles worth staying up for.
