Senior🎓
Top SchoolMark Kirschenbaum is an experienced hardware and firmware engineer and founder who builds end-to-end electromechanical products for human-flight sports, combining PCB, enclosure, firmware, and manufacturing know-how. With over a decade leading Hypoxic and prior firmware architecture work at Microchip (MPLAB tools, ICD3, REAL ICE), he specializes in reverse engineering embedded systems, extracting undocumented interfaces, and implementing side-channel attacks against AES-based TPMs. He routinely designs hardware hooks and debuggers to interoperate with or repurpose off‑the‑shelf cameras and IoT devices, enabling tailored solutions on tight budgets. Based in Chandler, AZ, his background spans rapid prototyping, overseas contract manufacturing, kernel/RTOS tweaks, and security research on ARM/AArch64 platforms—skills that let him turn black‑box devices into product-ready components.
