Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPetr Bauch is a Staff Software Engineer based in Zurich with 11 years of experience building and owning static analysis engines and tools informed by a PhD in formal verification. He has led development of Rust- and Python-driven analyzers for large code bases at SandboxAQ and Snyk, translating complex language semantics into graph and datalog-based analyses across C/C++, Java, Python and more. His contributions to the well-known CBMC bounded model checker include adding robust checks, regression tests and refactoring analysis utilities, reflecting a strong blend of research-grade verification and production engineering. Petr combines formal methods background with practical automation—focused on automating software development and discovering properties like cryptographic inventory and AI software policy metrics. Colleagues rely on him to bridge symbolic reasoning, parsers and scalable query interfaces, and he often surfaces subtle correctness issues that other tools miss.
