Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrea Allievi is a Principal Core OS Engineer at Microsoft with 11 years of deep expertise in kernel and low-level Windows internals, specializing in NT and Secure Kernel components. He blends hands-on kernel-mode development (C/C++/Assembly), UEFI and boot-level research with applied security work—reverse engineering live rootkits, incident investigations, and malware analysis—that often results in published research and custom removal tools. His career spans high-impact roles at Microsoft, Sourcefire/Cisco and leading anti-malware firms, where he built anti-rootkit and driver-level defenses as well as attack emulation for advanced threats. Based in Seattle, he pairs academic grounding from Università degli Studi di Milano‑Bicocca with pragmatic engineering, and is notable for treating UEFI/MBR/VBR techniques as both research vectors and defensive opportunities.
