Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMav Levin is a founding security researcher and pragmatic attacker-turned-defender with eight years of experience hardening blockchain, cloud, and embedded systems from San Francisco. They have a track record of shipping tooling and high-impact research—from developing an agentic LLM that automates vulnerability discovery to deploying a Solidity storage optimizer across tens of thousands of contracts and uncovering millions in potential risk. Mav’s background spans elite Israeli signals work, academic research at Stanford, and fast-paced industry roles at Trail of Bits, Orca Security, and Alchemy, blending deep reverse engineering, fuzzing, and automated analysis. Notably, they’ve translated offensive wins (firmware bugs, crypto weaknesses) into repeatable detection pipelines and scalable defenses. Colleagues describe them as a builder who prefers shipping reproducible systems over one-off advisories, with a knack for turning research prototypes into production-grade security automation.
