Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSrinivas Babu is a Security Software Engineer with a decade of experience building and hardening network and security tooling across companies like Netflix and Uber, blending systems programming (C, Python, Go) with automation and DevOps practices. He holds an MS in Computer Science from NYU and has moved from network-focused engineering into applied security research and tooling, contributing to symbolic execution work in the well-regarded Manticore project. Srinivas has a track record of creating practical forensics and protocol tools—authoring core pcap parsing and extraction logic for PcapXray—and a history of fuzzing, protocol testing, and protocol-facing automation from his time at Extreme Networks. Known for a "learn-it-all" mindset, he pairs offensive and defensive perspectives to find impactful vulnerabilities and deliver resilient solutions. Pragmatic and curious, he actively explores new languages and frameworks (Swift, Go, Ruby, React) to broaden his toolset for solving system-level security challenges.
