Summary
👤
SeniorMiles 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. Miles brings a researcher's mindset (INFOCOM paper on DNS cache poisoning) to product security, blending red-team tactics with production-grade defenses and vendor-led penetration testing. Comfortable both designing security architectures and implementing tooling in Python, he pairs hands-on engineering with cross-functional leadership in regulated environments. An unconventional strength is his track record of turning academic research findings into actionable, auditable controls for safety-critical products.
