I build the security, cryptographic provenance, and audit infrastructure that agentic AI systems need to be trusted — backed by 15 years of keeping production alive when things break.
I'm a security and systems engineer with 15+ years across enterprise IT, multi-cloud architecture, and security operations. My day-to-day is keeping production systems healthy and defensible across AWS, GCP, and Azure; my nights are spent building the autonomous security tooling shown below.
Hands-on with EDR-driven incident response (SentinelOne across 100+ environments), cloud security hardening, and high-tempo production incident work. Deep operator history in the gaming and media industry. Former U.S. federal Confidential clearance. I like problems where security, automation, and scale meet.
Independent security R&D — original systems I designed and built. Concept-level; no client data, targets, or findings.

AI Agent Security · Cryptography
Cryptographic provenance for AI-agent prompts — replacing brittle "injection detection" with signatures that fail closed, defined as a language-agnostic protocol with native implementations in Python, Rust, Go, and TypeScript.
Agent Infrastructure · Audit
A hierarchical multi-agent system with durable episodic memory and a full audit trail of autonomous work.
OSINT · Attack-Surface Visualization
A 3D cosmos you fly through where the visualization is the scan — point it at a domain and that target's full internet footprint reconstructs live, in real time, from passive OSINT.

Threat Intelligence · Attack Surface
Certificate-Transparency monitoring that surfaces new and anomalous infrastructure from internet-scale CT noise.
AI Security Evaluation
A fully-wired AI security evaluator — all four engines (seed/jailbreak, garak probes, defense delta scoring, results dashboard) integrated into one pipeline, with defense-lift measurement as a first-class primitive.
Autonomous Decision Systems
An autonomous research-to-decision engine that reads primary-source filings, forms structured theses, and routes every candidate through hard risk gates before anything acts — designed to survive being wrong, not merely to be right.

Mechanism Design · Protocol Security
A boundary investigation of extraction-resistant sequencing — adversarial mechanism design proving that content-blind safety mechanisms cannot simultaneously bound attacker extraction and pass legitimate throughput under market stress.
AI Security Advisory
A boutique AI-security consultancy — adversarial red-team assessments, agentic-system security reviews, and prompt-injection defense design — live at greyridgesignals.ai.

DECK (Digital Echo Chamber Kaleidoscope) is a new R&D project — a 3D cosmos you fly through where reconnaissance renders at the speed information arrives. Point it at a domain and that target's full vertical footprint (domain to subdomain to IP to prefix to ASN, plus nameservers and mail) materializes live as a starfield, each node igniting the millisecond its passive-OSINT probe returns. The central idea is collapsing the gap between tool and output: there is no scan-then-draw step, so probe latency itself becomes the choreography — fast data fills the space first, slow data drifts in after. It is a different axis of internet cartography from the familiar maps (Opte, Shodan, crt.sh), which each render one frozen layer of the entire internet; DECK reconstructs a single target's complete footprint, live, on demand, with zero API keys. The metaphor carries the legibility: autonomous systems become suns, prefixes planets, hosts moons, and BGP links gravitational lanes, so abstract infrastructure turns into something you navigate by eye. A 'home base' mode turns the same engine inward as a defensive instrument — it maps your own machine outward in concentric shells and treats your normal BGP neighborhood as a still-water baseline, so any live connection leaving for somewhere outside that ring reads as a wave hitting a buoy: anomalous by construction. The lineage is Gibson's Neuromancer, where the deck is the thing you jack into to see cyberspace as navigable space.

The Verified Prompt Envelope — Seal's Ed25519-signed authorization layer — is no longer a Python-only idea. The envelope is defined by its wire format and signature scheme rather than any one runtime, so the central claim becomes concrete: prompt provenance is a protocol, not a library feature. Native implementations now exist in Rust, Go, and TypeScript alongside Python, which means an agent written in any of them can mint, carry, and verify the same authorization. The trust boundary follows the data across every tier of a heterogeneous stack instead of stopping at whatever language the defense happened to be born in. Provenance that only works in one runtime isn't a security primitive; provenance that survives the language boundary is.

Most automated decision systems are built to be right. Midas is built to survive being wrong — because in capital allocation a single oversized mistake ends the game, while being right is merely pleasant. The architecture encodes that asymmetry directly: candidate theses, formed by reading primary-source filings, must clear a layered gauntlet of independent risk gates before anything acts, and 'no decision' is the default outcome rather than a failure mode. The design thesis is that the gate layer — not the prediction — is the product: a system that does nothing unless conviction and bounded downside both clear is the only kind worth letting near real capital.

Grommet is an adversarial mechanism-design investigation into extraction-resistant transaction sequencing (MEV). Its terminal result is a formal impossibility: a content-blind safety mechanism cannot simultaneously bound attacker extraction and pass legitimate throughput under market stress — the two goals trade off hard. The deliverable is the constraint framework itself: it turns 'is it MEV-resistant?' from marketing copy into a falsifiable question, and ships an audit checklist any protocol making that claim should have to answer. The same safety principle has a constructive flip side — a minting rule for an engine-backed currency, the one regime where the impossibility does not bind.

Seal now defends all three agent-security axes — prompt provenance, injection detection, and signed memory-trust — behind a one-command install and CLI. Assay, the paired evaluator, scores a target across all three and measures the lift the defense actually adds.

Two of the autonomous systems now ship real operator consoles — Meridian's recon → hunt → verify → report pipeline, and Midas's risk-gated decision engine with a layered safety gate. Captures are above (run on local models; targets and live data redacted).

Shipped the Verified Prompt Envelope — Ed25519-signed authorization that lets an agent reject unauthorized instructions by construction, turning prompt-injection defense from guesswork into key management.
