Summary
🤩
RockstarGarret Wassermann is a security engineer specializing in vulnerability management with eight years of experience bridging applied research, incident coordination, and practical remediation workflows. He has driven coordinated vulnerability disclosure at CERT/CC, co-authored the CERT Guide to Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure, and now applies that expertise at GitLab to align developer, vendor, and public release processes. Technically fluent in executable code analysis and reverse engineering, he contributed to Ghidra tooling (Kaiju) and has a focused interest in Rust security. An experienced educator, Garret has taught programming, calculus, and physics at the college level and co-authored lab manuals still in use, reflecting strong communication and mentorship skills. Comfortable in remote, cross-disciplinary teams, he excels at translating deep technical findings into actionable, stakeholder-aligned fixes. Less obvious: his background in applied mathematics and modeling informs a methodical, data-driven approach to vulnerability triage and prioritization.
