Gabriel Jacoby-cooper is a software engineer with 11 years of experience currently building core platform features on Apple’s App Store Frameworks team, where he led the Apple-Hosted Background Assets effort unveiled at WWDC25 and contributed to the new Foundation Models framework. He has a strong security and systems background from building iVerify at Trail of Bits—a background that helped that product chart in the top 100 utility apps and later spin out as a VC-backed startup. A summa cum laude graduate in Computer Science and Philosophy from RPI, Gabriel pairs rigorous technical skill with formal reasoning, mentoring undergraduates in both logic and software courses. He’s shipped multiple high-profile features as an Apple intern before joining full time, showing a pattern of rapid impact in large engineering organizations. Based in Cupertino, he blends security-first engineering with platform-level product thinking and an uncommon cross-disciplinary lens from philosophy.
