Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRobin David is a Research Lead and senior software security engineer with 13 years' experience specializing in reverse engineering, automated program analysis, symbolic execution and fuzzing. Based in Paris, he has led Quarkslab’s automated analysis team and driven cross-team research projects that turn formal methods into practical tools for auditing boot chains, mobile and embedded devices. His PhD work on static analysis of executables underpins a pragmatic focus on deobfuscation and automated workflows that scale security assessments. A frequent presenter (e.g., Black Hat USA 2021) and avid explorer of new ideas, he combines hands-on attack techniques with team leadership to deliver reproducible, research-driven tooling. Notably, he treats obfuscation as a hobbyist challenge, applying synthesis and symbolic techniques to stretch coverage and find elusive bugs.
