Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoel Galenson is a Member of Technical Staff with 18 years of experience building AI-driven developer tools, compilers, security systems, and language tooling from research prototypes to production. He has shipped features across Android, Google Search, Colab, and cloud products while improving LLVM sanitizers and co-designing a major Android privacy feature and SELinux policy work. A compiler and systems expert who has implemented Rust/C++ interop in the widely used cxx project and added Rust bindings across multiple AOSP repos, he blends low-level exploit research and defenses with modern AI-powered program synthesis and code-completion products. Joel is comfortable across the stack—from ROP and exploit development to UI/UX for agents—and brings a rare combination of academic depth (PhD-level research in program synthesis) and hands-on engineering at Google, Qualcomm, and startups.
