Summary
Justin Perez is a software engineer at Microsoft with nine years of experience building secure, production-scale tooling for large organizations, currently focused on Component Governance to detect and remediate open-source vulnerabilities across company builds. A Virginia Tech CS graduate and former cadet, he blends systems programming (Rust, C++, C#), cloud CI/CD insight, and cybersecurity experience from both internships and hands-on penetration testing. His background includes developing simulation software for underwater wireless networks and shipping high-impact monitoring and predictive tools for distributed testing infrastructure. Early work on widely used game automation platforms gave him deep reverse-engineering and API design experience at scale. He is driven by continuous learning and seeks roles that intersect secure software supply chains, low-level systems work, and pragmatic product delivery. Based in Seattle, he brings a practical mix of offensive security perspective and engineering craftsmanship to hard reliability and security problems.
