Chaz Lever

I’m a PhD student at Georgia Institute of Technology performing research in the areas of network and computer security under the advisement of Manos Antonakakis; I was previously advised by Patrick Traynor. I currently have degrees from Wake Forest University (M.S., Computer Science, ’11) and Duke University (B.S., Computer Science, ’06).

From 2006-2009, I lived and worked in Atlanta, GA as a software engineer doing development in the financial services and distributed assets industries. My first employer during that time was a smaller company, Obvient Strategies, focused on developing business intelligence and data warehousing solutions. After a year, I left Obvient for a position at Global Payments, Inc(recently listed by Forbes as one of The 400 Best Big Companies) where I spent the next two years working on a web-based transactions processing platform.
