Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMoritz Eckert is a VP Product & Technology with a decade of experience building secure software and shaping product strategy from research to leadership at Edgeless Systems. He brings deep technical expertise in binary analysis, reverse engineering and exploitation—evidenced by substantive contributions to high-profile open-source projects like angr and radare2 and practical write-ups for major CTFs. As a former Chief Architect and security engineer, he combines hands-on systems work (heap exploitation, symbolic memory optimizations) with product-level decisions that drive secure, performant platforms. His academic background as a PhD candidate and visiting scholar complements a pragmatic engineering style that prefers fixing tricky internals over flashy surface features. Based in Erlangen, he consistently bridges advanced research and production-grade security tooling.
