Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrett Wilson is a lead software engineer with 15 years of experience designing, developing, and testing secure networked systems, with deep expertise in transport protocols, encryption, and testbed architecture. He has led Boeing's efforts on high-assurance programs such as DARPA HACMS and ONR RHIMES, building tools to harden mission and legacy real-time systems even when source code is unavailable. Earlier work in McAfee/Sparta focused on research-driven prototyping and operating large-scale security testbeds, giving him a strong grounding in experimental systems and reproducible evaluation. Based in Seattle, he combines academic training (BEng, MSc) with hands-on hardware/software projects—he built timing, scoring, and registration systems used by regional autocross clubs and has tinkered with electronic engine management—demonstrating a practical, maker-oriented approach to engineering. Colleagues rely on him for turning security research into deployable, auditable solutions that bridge research, tooling, and operational constraints.
