Senior🎓
Top SchoolVictor Valgenti is an experienced technologist and academic who blends over a decade of hands-on software engineering, security research, and program leadership to build practical computer science education and industry partnerships in Missoula, Montana. As Program Director and Associate Professor at Missoula College he leverages prior roles—from VP Research at a security startup with multiple regex and pattern-recognition patents to low-latency network work at SEL—to connect classroom learning to real-world systems and threats. His research background in network security, deep-packet inspection, and high-speed regex matching informs both curriculum design and applied projects, while his C/C++ and Python pedigree supports performance-focused tool development. Notably, he has translated patented research into usable frameworks for event normalization and pattern discovery, and he brings a recruiter’s sensibility for aligning programs with local workforce needs.
