Top SchoolChris Cerne is a security researcher and Red Team engineer with a decade of hands-on experience focused on web application and vulnerability research. He has consulted for Fortune 500 clients, uncovering issues that affected hundreds of millions of users, and recently transitioned to security research at Meta after senior consulting roles at Stratum Security and Bishop Fox. Comfortable across offensive testing, exploit tooling, and systems-level debugging, his early work included JavaScriptCore and V8 research and embedded device exploitation.

Notably, his background spans both corporate security programs and low-level exploit development, giving him a rare blend of large-scale impact and deep technical craft.
