Summary
Trevor Bakker is a seasoned cyber systems and software engineering leader with over a decade of experience building secure, real-time systems for defense and gaming platforms. Currently managing Cyber Systems Security Engineering at Lockheed Martin, he blends deep hands-on expertise in Linux kernel and device driver development, C++, compilers, and graphics engines with systems engineering rigor from an MS in Systems Engineering. His background includes developing sensor targeting software and PCIe drivers for avionics at L3 and early-career game engine work on consoles, giving him a rare cross-domain perspective on performance-critical, safety- and security-conscious software. Trevor also teaches operating systems at the University of Texas at Arlington, translating industry-grade kernel experience into the classroom. Colleagues rely on him to bridge low-level implementation details and architectural strategy, and he’s comfortable moving between prototype code and program-level delivery.
