Boston, Massachusetts, United States
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolNathaniel Tsechanski is a Staff Software Engineer based in Boston with a strong background in security-focused systems and Linux kernel engineering. He built Morphisec for Linux from prototype to market—authoring kernel and userspace code in C and assembly and creating a custom kernel testing framework—then progressed to senior engineering roles at Zscaler and Datadog. His experience spans vulnerability research, real-time command-and-control architectures, and leading small teams to deliver production-grade security products that support multiple distributions and kernel versions. Nathaniel blends hands-on low-level development with product-minded leadership, having filed patents and worked directly with alpha/beta customers to shape go-to-market strategy. Although relatively recent to the U.S. market, his track record shows deep expertise in Moving Target Defense and cross-platform Linux protection that few engineers combine with staff-level influence.
