Top SchoolMiles Zhou is a Principal Security Engineer in Seattle with nine years of deep experience securing complex embedded and medical systems. He has led threat modeling, chain-of-trust and secure-boot architectures across QNX/Linux x86 and ARM platforms for Medtronic’s surgical robotics, and published practical guidance on medical device security. Earlier roles span DevSecOps automation, CI-integrated vulnerability scanning and code signing, as well as iOS vulnerability research with accepted ZDI submissions—showing proficiency from firmware and hardware roots to application-layer exploits.
