Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolFelix Mehta is a founder and lead software engineer based in London with seven years of hands-on experience designing defensive security tooling and leading incident response. Previously a senior security researcher at Sophos, he architected evaluation frameworks for Windows memory scanners, led macOS detection engineering sprints, and helped grow a multi-platform detection rule repository to over 7,000 rules. His background as an associate threat hunter and security consultant means he combines production-ready C++ Windows tooling with practical purple-team insights from real-world incidents and APT re-creations. Now building Combat Theater, Felix focuses on next-generation blue-team tooling that translates deep low-level research into usable defensive products. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic researcher who bridges reverse engineering, telemetry engineering, and product delivery to close detection gaps before adversaries can exploit them.
