Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSoheil Khodayari is a security researcher with 12 years of experience focused on web and network threat detection, currently advancing intelligence-gathering and reconnaissance techniques at CrowdStrike. He blends academic rigor from a PhD-track at Universität des Saarlandes with hands-on tool building and large-scale web measurements developed at CISPA and IMDEA. His work spans offensive and defensive tooling—SAST/DAST/IAST engines, browser automation, ML-driven malicious page detection—and architectural security reviews for large-scale products. Prior roles in web development give him full-stack fluency (Angular/React, Node.js, Python, PostgreSQL/MongoDB), enabling pragmatic, production-ready security solutions. Based in Germany, he has a knack for turning large datasets and browser telemetry into actionable detection logic. Outside pure research, he’s known for cycling between hacking, patching, and a steady stream of coffee-driven iteration.
