from Screaming in the Cloud Hosted by Corey Quinn
About Thomas Dullien Thomas Dullien / Halvar Flake is a security researcher / entrepreneur known for his contributions to the theory and practice of vulnerability development and software reverse engineering. He built and ran a company for reverse engineering tools that got acquired by Google; he also worked on a wide range of topics - like turning security patches into attacks turning physics-induced DRAM bitflips into useful attacks. After a few years of Google Project Zero, he is now co-founder of a startup called http://optimyze.cloud that focuses on efficient computation -- helping companies save money by wasting fewer cycles, and helping reduce energy waste in the process.

What this episode covers
Thomas Dullien (Halvar Flake) is the co-founder of optimyze, a company that helps businesses optimize their cloud spend with better code. He started his career by founding a company called zynamics, a research-centric technology company that was acquired by Google in 2011. After the acquisition, he stayed on at Google as a staff engineer for eight years before launching optimyze. Join Corey and Thomas as they discuss why cloud optimization is increasingly important in a SaaS-driven world, why Thomas believes that cloud costs can be reduced by optimizing code, how rewriting code the way Google wants means your app can scale to the sky immediately, the difference between working on Google’s internal infrastructure and GCP, how Google hasn’t traditionally been good at explaining why their products are beneficial, why you should treat a data center as a computer that happens to be the size of the warehouse, Google Project Zero, and more.
