Pavel Sramek Pavel Sramek joined AVAST Software's Virus Lab as a malware analyst in early 2012 and received his Master's degree in systems programming after graduating with honours from the Czech Technical University in Prague the following year. During his studies, he was always fascinated by the magic of low-level programming, which quickly grew into an interest in reverse engineering. Although dealing mostly with Windows malware, he prefers a versatile approach to his work, mixing reversing with writing custom automation tools and never focusing at one particular area for too long. When not sitting in front of a computer monitor, he enjoys traveling around the world, photography and alpine skiing.
