Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDhruv Maroo is a software engineer with five years of experience building secure systems and developer tools, currently working on market-making desks in Miami. An IIT Madras computer science graduate, he blends low-level systems and security expertise with practical production work—contributing UI improvements to AFLplusplus and back-end features like compressed project storage in the prominent reverse-engineering framework Rizin. He has taught secure systems labs as a Star TA, co-founded a campus cybersecurity club, and completed a GSoC project improving Rizin’s IL tooling, showing a sustained commitment to open source. Comfortable across C++, GTK, and systems programming, Dhruv pairs curiosity about security internals with hands-on contributions to large, complex codebases. He also brings a creative edge—regularly playing keyboard and guitar—which he credits for helping him think about problems differently.
