Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolOlivia Fraser is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience specializing in offensive security research and automated exploit generation using evolutionary and reinforcement learning techniques. She has led DARPA-funded projects and research teams while consulting to port backend systems to Rust and delivering high-impact security tooling. Formerly a member of Tenable’s Zero Day Team, Olivia combines deep vulnerability discovery and exploit development experience with practical systems engineering—authoring protocol libraries, QA automation, and reverse-engineering frameworks. Based in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, she bridges academic rigor (MSc in Computer Science) and multidisciplinary thinking from advanced studies in philosophy to tackle emergent threats. Her work uniquely focuses on forcing an evolutionary arms race between offensive AI and defensive systems to accelerate intrusion detection resilience rather than merely cataloguing known attacks.
