Lorian has extensive security expertise, ranging from kernel- and hypervisor-level exploitation @ Interrupt Labs to secure system design @ Meta. He has discovered vulnerabilities in PyTorch, WhatsApp and the Android kernel, including several critical CVEs. Studied mathematical physics at the University of Edinburgh and UC Berkeley.

Lucas' background is primarily in distributed systems and performance engineering. Before Indices, he worked on Bloomberg's core market data platform, building high-performance infrastructure which processes hundreds of billions of market events per day.

Roman specialises in low-latency systems and anti-bot defence. He tinkered with x86 bootloaders in his teens before joining Yandex straight out of high school, where he researched new mechanisms to fingerprint stealth bot traffic. He then moved to Wintermute Trading and spent a few years digging into real-time pricing engines and kernel-bypass networking.
