Senior🎓
Top SchoolMark Carney is a cybersecurity researcher and technical specialist based in London with a decade of hands-on experience applying quantum, ML, and Web3 techniques to financial and embedded systems. At Santander Global Tech he seeded the bank’s quantum programme—standing up the Quantum Tech Community, Quantum Threat Group, and QRNG for finance—while leading smart contract security, ML-driven threat tooling, and hardware/firmware assessments. His background blends a PhD in mathematical logic and formal maths training with practical pentesting and reverse-engineering skills, enabling rigorous protocol review and production-ready reference implementations. A self-styled “quantum hacker,” he’s consulted on post-quantum crypto products and helped translate advanced mathematics into secure, auditable code and product decisions.
