Summary
🤩
RockstarKevin Thomas is a Principal Engineer with about 10 years of experience in security-focused engineering, test automation, and reverse engineering, based in Washington, D.C., and holding an active DoD Top Secret clearance. He currently leads development at Mimic, building Rust-based, memory-safe automation and anti-ransomware systems that detect, deflect, and automate recovery from polymorphic ransomware. Previously as Director of Test Automation at Corsha he architected Python/Ansible and Selenium test integration frameworks, built CI/CD observability with Kubernetes, Istio and Grafana, and engineered API-focused MFA test solutions. An active open-source author, he wrote a widely used reverse-engineering tutorial and contributed free Windows C and micro:bit Python courses covering x86/x64, ARM and RISC-V — blending offensive analysis with embedded education. His hands-on work spans assembly- and C/C++-level malware analysis, synthetic decoy environments, and data-driven QA frameworks that have measurably reduced manual testing effort. He also holds a Machine Learning certificate from Harvard and a B.S. from King’s College, reflecting a mix of practical security engineering and continual learning.
