Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolOliver Scott is a software development engineer with nine years' experience building low-level systems and distributed services, currently at AWS working on network topology, health, and GuardDuty Patrol. He has deep kernel and embedded systems expertise from his time at CSIRO Data61 and WiseTech, including seL4 runtime, VM management, bootloaders, and real-time device drivers. Comfortable across the stack, Oliver has delivered middleware and full-stack web projects, led penetration tests, and tutored operating-systems and systems courses at UNSW, blending practical engineering with teaching. Based in New York, he pairs a strong academic foundation in computer science and mathematics with a pragmatic, security-aware mindset that surfaces in both system hardening and performance benchmarking. A self-described "expert generalist," he often bridges gaps between kernel internals and cloud-scale services—making him effective at shipping auditable, production-grade infrastructure.
