Yuxiao Mao is a system programmer with nine years of experience bridging research-grade cybersecurity and production game development, currently maintaining the Haxe HashLink target at Shiro Games to bring games to diverse platforms. He contributes to the Haxe compiler, VM, and debugger while integrating native C/C++ libraries into a Haxe/C game engine and shepherding builds, releases, and platform certification. His PhD work at LAAS-CNRS focused on dynamic attack detection (cache side-channels, ROP) implemented on RISC-V FPGA prototypes, giving him deep expertise in microarchitectural signals and reconfigurable hardware. Comfortable across low-level systems, compilers, embedded platforms and tooling, he also teaches and has built Android framework proofs-of-concept for fine-grained permission control. Bilingual and based in Bordeaux, he combines academic rigor with pragmatic engineering and is an active open-source contributor (github.com/yuxiaomao) to language/runtime tooling. An eye for reproducible experiments and cross-team communication helps him translate security research into production-ready system features.
