Software Engineer II at Sony Interactive Entertainment
Canada
Summary
🤩
RockstarKeegan Saunders is a Software Engineer II based in Canada with 10 years of hands-on experience building reliable back-end systems and security-focused tooling. He has moved from research and full-stack roles into production-grade engineering at Sony Interactive Entertainment after senior research work at NowSecure, blending applied security research with pragmatic engineering. Keegan is an active open-source contributor to heavyweight projects like radare2 and Zig, where he improved reverse-engineering capabilities, Android support, and cross-platform build/linker behavior. He brings practical low-level expertise—atomic primitives, dyld/x86_64 support, and Android NDK integration—alongside a track record of bug fixes that harden tooling for real-world use. Colleagues rely on him to translate complex platform constraints into maintainable code and reproducible builds.
