Senior🎓
Top SchoolFrederico Araujo is a Principal Research Scientist and manager at IBM Research with over 18 years of software engineering experience and a decade-plus focus on security research. He leads a team building secure agentic middleware and contributes to open-source projects such as MCP Context Forge, BeeAI, SysFlow and CNCF Falco, bridging cutting-edge research and production tooling. His work blends language-based security, program analysis and systems security to harden AI agents, cloud-native platforms and endpoints, and has influenced IBM products like ReaQta and QRadar. A Ph.D. recipient awarded for his dissertation on language-based cyber deception, he pairs academic rigor and multiple best-paper awards with hands-on expertise in compilers, OS features (namespaces, checkpoint/restore), and container technologies. Fluent in Portuguese, English, French and some Italian, he’s as comfortable leading large-scale agile projects as he is contributing low-level C/C++ and language-semantics innovations.
