Summary
🤩
RockstarBen Mourad is a software engineer based in Massachusetts with nine years of hands-on experience specializing in back-end systems and security engineering. He contributes to low-level, security-focused tooling—most notably improving LLVM backend integration and ARM/Thumb lifters in the Binary Analysis Platform (BAP)—demonstrating a strong aptitude for compatibility fixes and semantics accuracy in binary analysis. Comfortable navigating complex IR, ABI details, and fallthrough handling, he brings meticulous attention to correctness in safety-critical code paths. Known modestly on GitHub as "just another programmer," Ben pairs that humility with practical expertise in keeping legacy toolchains working with modern compilers. He thrives on subtle, high-impact improvements that make analysis platforms more robust and maintainable.
