Learnings from building a Malware Testbed

In this session, I’ll break down how I approached designing a malware testbed from zero — not just technically, but strategically.

We’ll cover:

1. How I defined the problem before touching tools
2. Designing architecture from first principles
3. Making trade-offs and design decisions under constraints
4. Leading a medium-sized team through ambiguity
5. What failed — and what I’d do differently

This is about systems thinking, ownership, technical leadership, and better Engineering!
