Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolArthur Gerkis is a seasoned security researcher-turned-private investor with 13 years of experience in vulnerability research, exploit development, and automated trading system engineering. He combines deep expertise in browser security—demonstrated by multiple major-browser exploits and a Pwn2Own 2019 win—with practical cloud and offensive security work from roles at Databricks and Exodus Intelligence. Since 2022 he has applied his low-level systems and reverse-engineering skills to algorithmic crypto and equity trading, building bots in C++ and TypeScript that integrate FIX, WebSocket, and REST APIs. Arthur’s background in both black-box fuzzing and source-level analysis enables a rare fluency across research, tool development, and production trading systems. Based in Riga, he balances independent research practice with hands-on product-focused engineering, often turning complex exploit techniques into robust automation. Notably, his academic start in civil engineering underpins a disciplined, analytical approach to problem solving across domains.
