Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAsaf Lavi is a Principal Engineer with 11 years of professional experience and a long history of building and leading engineering teams in security and infrastructure-focused companies. He progressed from senior engineering roles at Mozilla—where he helped redesign core browser subsystems and improve macOS and RTL support—to senior architect and leadership roles at Preempt and CrowdStrike, now shaping architecture and delivery at CrowdStrike. Asaf combines deep backend systems expertise with hands-on functional programming contributions to notable open-source projects like Ramda, where he implemented and tested list-manipulation primitives. He is comfortable shipping large rewrites and process-level architectural changes (e.g., electrolysis/process-per-origin work) and brings a pragmatic, test-focused approach to library and product development.
