Summary
👤
SeniorBlake Jacobs is a software engineer and cybersecurity researcher with eight years' experience building secure web applications, tooling, and hands-on labs that teach real-world vulnerabilities. He combines Golang and Rust development with practical AWS and container expertise to automate security testing and deployments across distributed systems. At PentesterLab he crafts interactive exercises and analyzes CVEs to turn complex exploit chains into teachable, reproducible labs, while also contributing as a trusted pentester at Synack, Bugcrowd, HackerOne and formerly Cobalt. Blake’s background spans offensive research and secure code review, which lets him both find vulnerabilities in the wild and harden code before it ships. Based in Victoria, Australia, he pairs an ethical-hacker mindset with production-grade engineering to make security accessible and repeatable.
