Senior🎓
Top SchoolShivam Kapoor is a Senior Embedded Security Engineer with nine years of experience designing and hardening low-power, multi‑CPU embedded systems and secure elements. Based in Amsterdam and pursuing a joint MSc in Computer Systems Security at VU and UvA, he bridges academic security research with hands-on firmware development for ARM Cortex M and RISC‑V platforms. At Qorvo he embeds security into the development lifecycle, implements secure boot and cryptographic key handling, and develops mitigations against hardware attacks such as fault injection and tamper detection. Previously at Riscure he gained practical attack‑analysis experience, sharpening his ability to both build resilient firmware and break insecure designs. He combines low‑level C expertise with chip‑level threat modeling, making him equally comfortable writing secure drivers or advising on architecture-level security tradeoffs.
