Summary
Shoufu Luo is a Principal Security Engineer with 12 years of experience applying machine learning, cryptography, and systems engineering to detection and response at scale. He has driven anti-abuse and threat-detection programs at LinkedIn and now leads InfoSec detection work at Roblox, combining data-driven models with practical security automation. His background spans hands-on embedded systems and kernel-level security at Dell EMC to advanced ML research for intrusion detection at Trend Micro, giving him rare full-stack visibility from device drivers to distributed Spark pipelines. He teaches computer science topics and pursued doctoral research, reflecting a strong foundation in algorithms and rigorous analysis. Notably, he blends high-performance implementations (including FPGA-accelerated ML) with threat-modeling and operational tooling, enabling measurable reductions in fraud and botnet activity.
