Top SchoolTarun Yadav is a software engineer with a PhD in Computer Science and 11 years of experience building secure, scalable systems, currently working as an SDE at AWS in Virginia. His research-driven background spans systems security, cryptography, and usable security—publishing in top venues (USENIX, CCS, NDSS) and uncovering large-scale vulnerabilities in FIDO2, Chrome extensions, and email authentication. He has designed practical mitigations (including an E2EE system and SGX-based defenses), implemented post-quantum FIDO2 prototypes, and mentored dozens of undergraduates while leading multi-institution collaborations. Tarun also contributes to open-source front-end work (improving search UX in the widely used TEAMMATES feedback tool), reflecting a blend of rigorous research and hands-on engineering. Notably, his work has quantified real-world attack surfaces (over 100k risky extensions) and balanced security with deployability in browsers and authentication systems.
