Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRodrigo Rubira Branco is a veteran vulnerability researcher and exploit developer with over a decade of experience leading high-impact security teams at Google, AWS, and Intel, where he founded the STORM offensive research group. He has a rare blend of deep OS and microarchitecture expertise—having led CPU/microarchitecture security research—and hands-on malware analysis through his Dissect.pe project. Rodrigo has built and scaled vulnerability discovery programs at major vendors (Qualys, Check Point) and regularly presents novel attacks and mitigations at top security conferences worldwide. An organizer of Hackers to Hackers since 2004 and an active open-source contributor, he bridges academic rigor (PhD work at UIUC/Oregon State) with practical exploit development. Colleagues know him for turning low-level research into real-world defenses and for quietly seeding influential tooling and techniques into the security community.
