Summary
Laura Bauman is a Security Software Engineer specializing in secure transports, currently working at Apple and pursuing an M.S. in Computer Science at Stanford. With eight years of experience across industry and research, she blends practical systems engineering with applied security work from internships at Microsoft and Trail of Bits to research on a novel remote access protocol. She has a strong teaching and mentorship background as a longtime Stanford CS section leader and coordinator, which informs her clear communication of complex technical concepts. Her work spans low-level forensic tooling, protocol implementation in Go, and secure identity-forwarding features that prioritize simplicity and roaming. Laura’s trajectory—from West Point and hands-on lab internships to production security engineering—reflects a disciplined, curious problem-solver who quickly learns new stacks and contributes both code and documentation. Based in Salinas, CA, she brings a rare mix of academic research chops and production-focused security engineering.
