Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatthew Brooks is a multidisciplinary engineer with 10+ years building mission-critical hardware and software, from spacecraft EGSE and nanosecond timing systems at Lockheed to designing cryptographic HSMs and secure infrastructure in the cryptocurrency space. He blends high-speed digital and analog hardware design, FPGA gateware, and embedded C/C++ with backend and infra skills—Kubernetes, Ansible, reproducible build systems and datacenter ops—so he owns problems end-to-end where keys and security matter. Known for thinking like an attacker, he specializes in threat modeling, secure key management, and hardened build/boot pipelines (including RISC-V drivers, unikernels, and MPC integrations such as GG18/GG19). His background in aerospace test systems gives him a pragmatic edge in grounding, timing, and bus-level reliability that few security engineers can match. Based in San Francisco, he thrives on hacking low-level systems and translating subtle hardware failure modes into testable, auditable security controls.
