Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndré Rösti is a systems-focused software engineer with nine years of experience bridging research and industry, currently a Member of Technical Staff at AMD. He specializes in operating systems, systems security, and compilers, and developed a distributed, ptrace-based multi-variant execution environment that leverages ISA diversity (x86_64 and ARM64) and checkpoint/restore to improve survivability under attack. His internship work at AMD advanced LLVM/MLIR compiler flows and optimized AI kernels for NPUs, demonstrating a practical ability to move novel research into production toolchains. A PhD candidate and former graduate researcher and TA at UC Irvine, he combines deep academic rigor with hands-on implementation across low-level software, compiler stacks, and performance engineering. Notably, he applies deception techniques and instruction-set diversity together—an uncommon intersection that underscores his creative approach to systems security.
