Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTerri Oda is a security researcher and software security engineer with 17 years of experience, combining a PhD in web security and a master's background in biologically-inspired AI for spam detection. Based in Ottawa and working at Intel's Open Source Technology Center, she strengthens HTML5-related open source projects and contributes to W3C working groups shaping web security standards. Her work bridges deep technical skills—reverse engineering and vulnerability analysis demonstrated by adding a libjpeg-turbo CVE checker to the widely used cve-bin-tool—with a long-running interest in automatic program repair and biologically-inspired defenses from her DARPA-funded postdoc. She’s known for clear, pragmatic communication (and “saying no” when necessary) across open source, education, and coordination roles such as Python Summer of Code.
