Peter Dillinger

After graduate work at Georgia Tech and earning a Ph.D. at Northeastern, Peter Dillinger joined Coverity in 2009 with a focus on Java static analysis. Peter quickly became a lead engineer in unifying the Java, C#, and C++ analysis engines. He made key contributions to initial support for web app security analysis and JavaScript analysis. Since Synopsys acquired Coverity in 2014, Peter has become a manager in the Seattle office, leading initial static analysis support for PHP, Python, Ruby, and now Swift, but occasionally finding time to design and implement new checkers.
