Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAustin Heath is a Site Reliability Engineer II based in Ottawa with a 16-year engineering career and over seven years focused on software engineering and security. He blends production SRE experience at Microsoft with deep offensive security and low-level systems expertise developed at U.S. Army Cyber Command, where he led teams to build cross-architecture shellcode libraries, exploit tooling, and CI-driven workflows that saved substantial costs. Austin has a track record of automating toil—integrating cross-compilation containers and GitLab CI pipelines—and reversing embedded devices to surface architecture-specific bugs early. He holds an MS in Computer Science from Georgia Tech (4.0 GPA) and a BS in Computer Engineering, and is comfortable shipping C/C++, Python, and LLVM-based solutions across Intel, ARM, MIPS, and PowerPC targets. Notably, his work has both operational impact—supporting multiple operations teams and training programs—and engineering rigor, from obfuscation toolchains to formalized documentation pipelines.
