Ryan Thibodeaux is a Principal Engineer with over a decade of experience building and hardening low-level software for embedded Linux and Android systems, now based in Leesburg, VA. He has led research and product engineering teams in security-focused organizations, directing kernel- and system-level protections, anti-forensics, and device hardening used in demanding deployments. Ryan combines hands-on technical leadership—porting firmware to multithreaded Linux/Android applications and architecting scoring and sandboxing systems for AI competitions—with customer-facing roles that span operations, integration, and technical documentation. Notably, he has guided cross-functional programs from startup operations to acquisition-era product transitions and recently contributed to the AIxCC semifinals as the lead integration engineer and aggregate scoring architect. His background in electrical and computer engineering from Vanderbilt underpins a pragmatic approach to building auditable, production-ready systems at the intersection of embedded platforms and cybersecurity.
