Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRead Sprabery is a security engineer and entrepreneur with 13 years of experience building secure cloud and systems software, currently focused on supply chain security at Google and Truemed out of Seattle. He pairs deep research credentials—a PhD with dissertation work on cross-layer microservice security and prior roles in hypervisor/LLVM research—with hands-on engineering from kernel trusted computing at Apple to container and Kubernetes security at scale. He has founded multiple startups and shipped resilient production systems, including fail-safe messaging, billing instrumentation, and protocol implementations from RFCs to deployed services. Notably, he blends offensive and defensive expertise (reverse engineering, ROP/CFI hardening) with pragmatic product work—auditing untracked code, coordinating vulnerability scans, and architecting secure build/image pipelines.
