Montserrat Arenas is a Senior Research Engineer at Google DeepMind with seven years of experience bridging research and production in robotics and applied machine learning. Trained in statistics (CMU) and computer science (Tecnológico de Monterrey), she has a strong foundation in speech and systems work from internships at Google and Microsoft and early research at CMU. She combines rigorous research instincts with hands-on engineering—evidenced by contributions to OSINT tooling on GitHub where she integrated Instagram, LinkedIn and Twint APIs to enrich credential-leak detection workflows. Based in Mountain View, she brings a Red Team/pentesting mindset to research problems, often focusing on practical data-extraction and security-aware system design. Colleagues value her ability to translate complex probabilistic models into robust, production-ready robotics solutions.

Contributions summary:Montserrat primarily contributed to the `socialpwned` project by adding and integrating the Instagram API. Their work involved modifying the core Python script (`socialpwned.py`) to include argument parsing for Instagram-related functionalities. The changes also included the creation and integration of an `InstagramAPI.py` file within the `lib/InstagramAPI` directory. This involved setting up login capabilities and fetching data, likely for OSINT purposes, integrating PwnDB, and also implementing the linkedin and twint APIs.
