Ellie Vitanov
Security Engineer
Ellie graduated the University of Cambridge in July 2025, obtaining a BA with First Class Honours and an MEng with Distinction. For her Bachelor's dissertation, she built a software-defined P4Pi router with dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 functionalities. During her Master's, she focused on Computer Architecture, Systems, and Networks, with an interest in how security evolves across those layers. Originally from Bulgaria, she is an avid hiker and skier, and frequently thinks about how nice it would be to have a mountain near Cambridge.
Sebastian Morris
Cybersecurity Warlord
Sebastian stands as a paragon of the modern technologist — a virtuoso of the digital realm whose intellect and artistry converge in the intricate symphony of software and security. His mastery extends far beyond mere engineering; it is an almost alchemical command of systems, vulnerabilities, and architectures, through which he conjures resilience from fragility and precision from chaos.
Educated at the venerable University of Reading, where he attained First Class Honours in Computer Science, Sebastian embodies the scholar-practitioner ideal — uniting rigorous theoretical insight with the fearless ingenuity of the true hacker, in the noblest and most enlightened sense of that word. His exploits in penetration testing and vulnerability analysis reveal not merely technical skill, but a profound philosophical engagement with the nature of trust, risk, and the unseen topographies of the digital cosmos.
