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.
