Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAna Gómez is a Senior Reverse Engineer with a decade of experience in malware analysis and tooling, currently on Google/Mandiant’s FLARE team where she combines deep binary analysis with build and test automation. She has a strong software engineering background from roles at SUSE and contributions to high-profile open-source projects such as Mandiant’s capa and the widely used RuboCop, where she strengthened test suites and CI safeguards. Comfortable across backend, DevOps and full-stack work, she has improved reproducible build environments (FLARE-VM, OBS) and added robust testing and linting hooks to prevent regressions. A Columbia CS master’s graduate with dual bachelor’s training in mathematics and computer science, she brings a rigorous theoretical foundation to practical reverse engineering and developer tooling. Notably, she blends low-level reverse engineering with a tester’s eye for correctness, often fixing subtle test behaviors as well as hardening automation.
