John Meade is a seasoned Senior Engineer with nine years of recent focused experience and a two-decade background building low-level and application software across Windows, Unix, and enterprise environments. He specializes in C++ kernel-, native-, and user-mode development, and brings deep expertise in performance analysis, cryptography, reverse engineering, AI, and malware analysis from long tenures including Symantec. Comfortable moving between modern AI-driven tooling and legacy systems (Java/CORBA/WebLogic), he has designed security-critical components used by both consumer and enterprise products. Based in Cypress, California, he combines hands-on engineering with an investigative mindset that surfaces subtle performance and security issues others miss. His electrical engineering foundation informs a systems-first approach to software design and optimization. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic solutions to complex, high-risk problems that span from kernel internals to deployed services.
