Mariusz Zaborski is a security-focused software engineer and engineering manager with 12 years’ experience building low-level, OS-level and infrastructure security solutions from Warsaw. He leads teams that design and ship privileged access and session management systems—having driven development, QA and architecture for what his employers call a leading PAM appliance. A long-time FreeBSD committer and contributor to high-profile open-source projects like OpenZFS, Google’s sandboxed-api and FreeRDP, he combines kernel- and filesystem-level expertise with practical sandboxing and hardening work. His contributions include sandboxing diverse C/C++ libraries, ZFS reliability and cross-platform bootloader integrations, and NTLM robustness fixes—signaling a rare blend of systems depth and security pragmatism. Comfortable both writing tight C and managing cross-functional teams, he often focuses on memory safety and isolation techniques that are easy to overlook but critical in production.
