Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPaul Ambroso is a backend senior software engineer with 11 years of experience specializing in security-focused automation and malware analysis. Currently at Microsoft Security AI, he builds AI benchmarking harnesses and tooling that help researchers test and deploy models, drawing on deep hands-on experience reversing malware and authoring detection signatures from his Windows Defender and Kaspersky Lab tenure. He combines systems-level C#/Python development, infrastructure automation, and data-driven dashboards to drive measurable efficiency gains (including a documented 20% labor saving in malware response). Comfortable leading small teams and training distributed responders, he has a track record of turning reverse-engineering insights into production protections and developer-facing tooling. Based in Kenmore, WA, he’s equally at home crafting APIs and patchers as he is diving into obscure threats—preferring measurable automation over manual toil.
