Senior🎓
Top SchoolAustin Orion is a Senior Software Engineer with seven years of experience building performant, security-focused features for browsers and real-time communications, most recently at a stealth startup and now at Tanium. He shipped high-impact work on Microsoft Edge—authoring a Password Monitor with homomorphic hashing for checking against billions of leaked credentials and rewriting a screen capturer that cut frame capture time from 263ms to 7ms—and contributed to Chromium and WebRTC desktop capture improvements upstream. Comfortable across systems from low-latency media pipelines to Windows integrations and backend telemetry, he has a track record of turning thorny platform bugs into reliable product features. Past roles include reducing legacy manufacturing tooling to a single SQL-backed system at Lockheed Martin, and mentoring interns who converted to returning hires. Based in Redmond, he combines practical security engineering with deep systems-level debugging and a history of impactful open-source patches.
