Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolHenri Dubois-ferriere is a seasoned engineering leader and board member with 11+ years of industry experience and a PhD in computer science from EPFL. He blends deep systems and security expertise—from founding Sessionbox and building Falco’s Lua-based parser to contributing backend work on projects like Brim’s analytics DB and Nimbus’ EIP-4844 support for Ethereum. As Principal at 12th Ave Labs and former Technical Director at Sysdig and Riverbed, he has led product integrations, protocol design, and high-impact prototype-to-production efforts. He also drives developer-facing release and build automation (notably macOS signing/notarization work on Zui) and brings a rare combination of low-level networking, distributed systems, and runtime security experience. Colleagues value his ability to translate research-grade ideas into robust, maintainable engineering across open-source and commercial products.
