Alex is a OS/kernel engineer and systems architect who actually understands how things should be built. He is a co-author of the seminal Windows Internals book series and teaches ongoing seminars around the world. Alex is often the first to publish highly technical details on major security-relevant architectural changes to Windows. Rumor has is that Alex recently turned 30, which technically means he may not yet be qualified for a lifetime achievement award, however someone said something about him leaving the industry and we agree this nomination might stop that from happening.
