Licensed electrician turned self-taught solo developer. I build offline-first systems where failure is expensive: AI runtimes, training pipelines, low-level OS integration, and security controls that must prove what they did.
| Project | What it does | Status |
|---|---|---|
| AIDE Sovereign Workbench | Model-agnostic local development workbench with verified operators, Git workflows, plugins, audit artifacts, and offline operation. | Active development |
| Cyber SOP Harness | Policy, permit, evidence, provenance, and verification layer between an AI proposal and a security tool for authorized defensive testing. | Development preview |
Systems and runtime engineering. Process lifecycle, resource gates, service shutdown, loopback-only model serving, deterministic manifests, and privileged-boundary design across Windows/Linux. Field experience as a licensed electrician informs how I treat power, isolation, sequencing, and failure paths.
AI training pipelines. Corpus curation, tokenizer/data packing, pretraining and supervised fine-tuning, evaluation gates, quantization, GGUF export, benchmarking, and edge deployment. Every stage needs reproducible inputs and measurable exit criteria.
Security operations engineering. Threat modeling, least privilege, fail-closed defaults, signed engagement manifests, policy evaluation, one-use permits, durable evidence journals, provenance signing, and controlled network-tool adapters.
Research from primary sources, then architecture, implementation, adversarial review, automated tests, honest documentation, and release. I optimize for systems that remain inspectable after something goes wrong—not demos that only work before anyone looks closely.
Current example: the Cyber SOP Harness runs 44 deterministic offline tests plus a successful governed loopback dispatch, while remaining clearly labeled as a development preview until containment and operational acceptance are complete.
- AIDE Sovereign Workbench — offline development environment, typed operator contracts, reproducible artifacts, and local-model workflows.
- Cyber SOP Harness — authorized-only security automation governance with DNS pinning, bounded inspection, sensitive-header redaction, and evidence verification.
I am preparing GitHub Sponsors. Until that page is active, the best route is an issue or discussion on an active repository for collaboration, review, sponsorship, or scoped professional work.
Sponsorship would go directly into compute, broader hardware testing, and more research-to-release cycles for offline AI and verifiable security tooling.
