Nicholas Pelham is a Senior Software Engineer based in California with 11 years of professional experience and a cum laude B.S. in Computer Engineering from UC Riverside. He brings deep hands-on expertise in embedded systems and a focused interest in security for hardware-adjacent platforms, grounded in undergraduate research into DRAM and CPU side-channel vulnerabilities. At Qualcomm since 2017 he applies that embedded and security mindset to complex engineering problems, pairing practical product delivery with research-informed threat awareness. Active in collegiate cyber defense and CTFs, he combines a tinkerer’s curiosity with production-grade engineering discipline. Colleagues describe him as someone who routinely gets “in over his head” and turns those explorations into tangible, secure solutions.
