Summary
Amery Hung is a systems and security-focused software engineer with a decade of experience building tooling that improves Linux kernel security, power, performance, and reliability. He holds a PhD from UC Irvine where his research produced practical defenses (eBPF/seccomp policies) and selective symbolic execution techniques that reduced analysis time and uncovered real-world bugs and CVE root causes. Amery has applied that research at scale as a Linux kernel engineer at ByteDance and now at Meta, bringing low-overhead, high-throughput tracing and enforcement experience to production systems. He blends deep kernel-level expertise with hardware-aware simulation and ESL modeling from earlier roles, enabling cross-layer solutions that consider both software correctness and system-level metrics. Colleagues describe him as detail-oriented and curious, with a knack for turning academic prototypes into deployable tools that measurably reduce attack surface and improve system observability.
