Bill Demirkapi is a security researcher and Member of Technical Staff with a decade of experience building scalable defenses and automated mitigation systems across startups and major tech firms. He has driven high-impact security work at Microsoft MSRC—leading emerging threats, responding to in-the-wild zero-days, and publishing at Black Hat and DEF CON—and recently contributed systems and security engineering that sped xAI's web search 2–3x while banning millions of bots. Bill combines low-level vulnerability research (UEFI/boot, kernel, TPM) with practical platform engineering, having built remediation microservices that automatically fixed hundreds of thousands in risk and saved millions monthly in production. He leverages LLMs and automation to streamline incident response and has repeatedly turned research into operational controls that preempt high-risk failures. Based in Greater Boston, he prefers measurable impact over buzzwords and focuses on deterministic approaches to finding and fixing classes of bugs at scale.
