🏗️ Fable🚢 Forza Motorsport🚢 Forza Horizon 5I worked as the tech lead and manager of the tech sharing and security teams at Turn 10.The tech share mission is to drive alignment and sharing opportunities across all technology teams. We also worked on R&D projects to improve the shareablity of systems and worked to help teams use more distributed models of managing their dependencies. As the lead of the security team I integrated anti-cheat systems into Forza Motorsport, developed the engine functionalities for anti-tamper and other security systems. I had also contributed the early security roadmap to Fable and worked closely with the Forza Horizon team supporting them in privacy, enforcement and data topics. I worked to reverse engineer and demonstrate native, ma aged and network injection exploits both real and theoretical.Tangentially related to anti-cheat work: I had worked with the legal team to aid player safety investigations.
