Senior🎓
Top SchoolRaz Hemo is a Senior Software Security Engineer with nine years of hands-on experience building and securing embedded systems for automotive and cellular platforms. He combines deep C/C++ and low-level expertise (assembly, GNSS, QMI/MCM, AT commands) with practical security work such as control-flow integrity and OTA protection for OEMs. Raz has led embedded security teams, shipped a virtual intrusion detection system, and now applies that domain knowledge at Microsoft to harden complex products. A contributor to low-level open-source projects (improving macOS I2C/trackpad drivers), he brings both field-facing client support experience and compiler-level defenses—an uncommon blend that speeds secure feature delivery without sacrificing performance.
