Russell Holloway is a Principal Engineer with 11+ years specializing at the nexus of security research and automation, currently leading engineering at Qintel while co-founding and building products for Step Up Sports. He pairs deep malware reverse-engineering and IDS/IPS expertise with pragmatic full‑stack development—Python, REST APIs, OpenStack/AWS, and observability stacks—to automate large-scale analysis workflows and enable researcher productivity. His background spans Unit 42 leadership at Palo Alto Networks and hands-on roles at SecureWorks and LLNL, giving him a rare offensive-and-defensive perspective on threats and countermeasures. Russell also brings an entrepreneurial streak from running language-learning products for nearly two decades, which shaped his product instincts and ops experience across public and private cloud infrastructure.
