Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolStuart Locke is a software engineer based in Mountain View with a decade of hands-on experience in security-focused systems and low-level tooling. He has contributed notable features to the widely used pwndbg project—such as a leakfind command and fixes for PIE/Windbg support—reflecting deep reverse-engineering and exploit-development expertise. His background includes vulnerability research roles at Raytheon and academic work on cache side‑channel attacks that led to a cited ICLR submission, showing a blend of practical and research credentials. At Apple since 2023 he continues to apply systems-level judgment, and earlier entrepreneurial work building and monetizing Minecraft mods demonstrates an ability to take projects from concept to users. Colleagues know him for combining debugger mastery (GDB/WinDBG/IDA) with pragmatic C and Python tooling to accelerate security research and automation.
