Senior🎓
Top SchoolJesse Larrew is a Senior Security Engineer with 11 years of deep experience threat-modeling, penetration testing, and building scaleable tooling to secure hardware and firmware across cloud and silicon platforms. Currently at AWS, he focuses on securing foundational platforms with hands-on evaluations and developer outreach; previously at AMD he led hardware-software security research that produced prototype firmware, fuzzing harnesses, and open-source tooling to accelerate confidential computing adoption. He has a track record of turning research into practical defenses—co-inventing SEV key management APIs, demonstrating real-world firmware attacks to drive OEM remediation, and cutting VM setup time from hours to minutes with automation. Comfortable across firmware, kernel, and cloud layers, Jesse blends low-level exploit development with pragmatic product enablement and internal training. Based in Austin, he pairs an electrical engineering background with applied security research, often shipping demos and prototypes that bridge lab discoveries to customer-ready solutions.
