Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolÉmile-hugo Spir is a Senior Security Researcher with 13 years of experience probing the boundaries between low-level systems and high-quality application security. He designs and ships detection mechanisms and in-app protections at scale, having built industry-first SSRF RASP defenses and core WAF rules while at Sqreen and Datadog. Comfortable from firmware-level IoT updates to backend heuristics and monitoring, he blends systems-level curiosity with product-minded engineering to turn prototypes into production-grade safeguards. He also studies economic and organizational structures to surface non-technical attack surfaces and align security work with business realities. Based in Bordeaux, he pairs a tinkerer’s appetite for low-level experimentation (and occasional skydiving) with rigorous delivery of measurable security outcomes.
