Rust Systems Engineer | Post-Quantum Security | Distributed & Autonomous Systems
I build secure, reliability-critical infrastructure in Rust, with current work spanning post-quantum cryptography, distributed systems, embedded/aerospace software, and portable runtimes.
My open-source work includes contributions across post-quantum cryptography, aerospace/telemetry, distributed reliability, and systems software.
I am developing Quantum-Safe Agentic Infrastructure: a practical architecture for securing long-lived, autonomous, and AI-driven systems in a post-quantum environment.
Current focus
- Post-quantum cryptography and secure key infrastructure
- Rust systems and runtime engineering
- Distributed systems reliability
- Embedded, aerospace, and autonomous systems
- Secure sandboxed execution
Manifesto: quantum-safe-agentic-infrastructure
Architecture & threat model: quantum-vault-architecture
Systems and security engineer with 9+ years of experience across infrastructure, embedded systems, security, and performance-sensitive software, with a current focus on Rust and post-quantum systems.
I contribute to systems projects where correctness, portability, security, and reliability matter.
