Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPaul Sorensen is a DSP software engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience at the intersection of low-level software security, embedded systems, and hardware design. He has driven vulnerability research, kernel module development, fuzzing frameworks and FPGA/SDR implementations across defense and commercial projects, most recently at 3dB Labs after roles in reverse engineering and security engineering. Comfortable moving between C/assembly-level reverse engineering and higher-level Python tooling, he has contributed practical Python 3 compatibility fixes to an established fuzzing framework (boofuzz). Paul combines graduate-level CS training with a background in computer engineering to close the loop between silicon and software, and he’s known for building custom testing frameworks and reproducible exploit analysis workflows. Based in Dayton, Ohio, he regularly blends academic rigor with field-oriented engineering to deliver auditable, security-focused solutions.
