Axel Persinger is a founder and CNO engineer with eight years of hands-on offensive security and reverse-engineering experience, currently leading nullptrsec, a boutique firm focused on advanced vulnerability research and exploitation. He has delivered high-impact work across government and commercial clients, from developing custom CTF frameworks and 5G vulnerability research to automating large-scale endpoint threat hunting across 50k+ assets. Axel’s background blends low-level Windows kernel and firmware analysis with pragmatic engineering—building tooling and automation that accelerate vulnerability discovery and exploit development. He’s led small, award-winning teams and consistently translated research into operational capabilities and secure developer environments. Based in Washington, D.C., he pairs a cryptography-and-intelligence-informed CS education with a reputation for rapid prototyping and creative problem solving. A detail that often surprises collaborators: beyond offensive ops he routinely rearchitects production security tooling to improve speed and developer productivity.
