Robert Babaev
Software Engineer at Acre Security
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRobert Babaev is a software engineer with 8 years of hands-on experience building secure, production-grade systems using Python, Rust, and modern web stacks like Next.js and React. He combines deep offensive security experience from global CTFs and penetration testing with pragmatic engineering—automating audits, designing secure cloud pipelines, and optimizing data processing at scale. His work has reduced report generation and SOC resolution times, processed millions of records in seconds, and hardened applications across Azure and AWS using Terraform and CI/CD. Comfortable across backend frameworks (Django, FastAPI, Rails) and frontend stacks, he also brings practical infra skills in Docker, GitHub Actions, and SIEM tooling. Notably, his early startup pitch—an audacious "hack back" idea—sparked a career that now focuses on building fortresses, not fights, showing a willingness to learn fast and pivot based on real security experience. Based in Ottawa and studying computer science at Carleton, he’s equally at home shipping features and hunting vulnerabilities.
