Senior🎓
Top SchoolMitch Adair is a Principal Security Engineering Manager at Microsoft with 13 years of hands-on experience in vulnerability research, exploit development, and defensive engineering. He has led large research teams and programs—previously directing a 19-person security research group at Raytheon SI—and translates deep technical discovery into actionable risk mitigations for enterprise-scale products. Mitch combines academic rigor from a Computer Science MS with practical red-team and supply-chain security work dating back to Sandia and early consulting engagements for Fortune 50 clients. Known for building custom tooling (fuzzers, loaders, encoders) and bypassing modern protections, he straddles offensive research and pragmatic engineering to harden systems before attackers strike. Based in Woodinville, WA, he brings a challenge-driven, self-study mindset that keeps him at the cutting edge of information assurance. Colleagues rely on him for both strategic program leadership and obscure technical depth that surfaces subtle, high-impact vulnerabilities.
