Summary
Donovan Jasper is an engineer and dual CS/Music student at Stanford focused on cybersecurity and AI, with three years of hands-on experience across research, red-team/blue-team ops, and evaluation frameworks. He has contributed to production security tooling and LLM-enabled pipelines at CrowdStrike and built cybersecurity evals at OpenAI, later extending that work into applied roles at Formal and Numenor AI. At Stanford he leads both offense and defense teams for Applied Cyber and co-founded a zero-day research group that disclosed a real-world CVE, demonstrating deep systems and exploit development expertise. His background spans penetration testing, secure tool development in PowerShell/Go, and cloud-to-on-prem infrastructure migrations for teaching labs. A trained vocalist who managed Stanford’s choir program and founded a STEM nonprofit, he blends technical rigor with communication and leadership across academia, industry, and community. Notably, he has put LLMs into secure, production workflows for threat hunting—turning cutting-edge research into operational savings.
