Software Engineer, Neo Browser Team
iamneo · Feb 2026 – Present
- Core engineer on Neo Browser, a cross-platform Electron lockdown browser for proctored university exams; shipped 6 production releases (v2.0.5
- v2.0.10) on Windows, macOS and Linux.
- Anti-cheat (C++): detected cheating tools that hide their processes and windows by hooking Windows APIs, using direct system calls - 0 false positives, <1% overhead; added Linux hook, VM and macOS code-signing checks.
- Exam integrity: built a dynamic network whitelist, synthetic-input detection and screenshot blocking to stop students reaching outside resources during an exam.
- Flexible updates: built a remotely controlled update policy that makes each release mandatory or optional per OS and version range, delivered through AWS S3 + CloudFront auto-updates.
- Exam platform (Angular, Node.js, GCP Cloud Run): secured an open real-time notifications service with JWT and Google ID-token auth; fixed Linux Wayland proctoring screenshots and the Neo Browser check API.
