Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarc Newlin is a Principal Reverse Engineer with a decade of experience breaking and rebuilding wireless systems to solve hard security and interoperability problems. Based in Santa Monica, he blends hands-on firmware and SDR expertise—demonstrated by core radio work on the well-regarded MouseJack project—with leadership roles at SkySafe, Bird, and Bastille. A founding competitor in DARPA spectrum challenges and co-founder of Agitator’s “How Make Radio” team, he has repeatedly turned rapid mastery of new technologies into competitive, production-grade solutions. His background spans embedded radio stacks, protocol reverse engineering, and vulnerability research, and he’s as comfortable authoring promiscuous-mode transceiver firmware as he is architecting security programs for fleets of IoT devices.
