Summary
Luca Koval is a versatile software and ML engineer with 10 years of experience combining offensive security, DevSecOps, and generative AI to deliver production-grade automation and tooling. Based in New York, he has led Purple Team efforts and spearheaded Aptiv’s security platform migration, building resilient, asynchronous Python pipelines and internal full-stack apps that didn’t previously exist. He was a founding member of Aptiv’s GenAI team, publishing research on LLM-driven vulnerability detection and automating unit/test-case generation and requirement verification. Luca also has hands-on cryptography research experience from Cornell Tech and led a large student team to design an award-winning autonomous VTOL aircraft, showing his blend of systems-level engineering and practical leadership. Currently hacking at RunSybil, he brings a rare mix of red-team perspective, ML research chops, and production engineering discipline. Notably, he has a track record of creating entirely new codebases and operational practices inside established organizations, quickly turning ad-hoc processes into auditable, maintainable platforms.
