Cybersecurity × AI

Building security systems for the age of AI agents.

I build at the intersection of cybersecurity, AI systems, agent security, and reliability — with a bias toward infrastructure, adversarial testing, and explicit security guarantees.

Featured Work

Security architecture built around prevention before detection.

  • Dual-LLM isolation with privileged and quarantined contexts
  • Reference-monitor enforcement before tool execution
  • Capability policies, provenance tracking, and least privilege
  • Static taint analysis for agent/tool integrations
  • Session replay, attack DAGs, and incident reports
  • Adaptive attack harness with obfuscation and MCP-specific tests
  • AgentDojo + AgentDyn evaluation

Authorization infrastructure for systems where agents delegate work to other agents.

  • Invocation-Bound Capability Tokens
  • Chained Attenuation Tokens
  • Scope narrowing across delegation hops
  • Offline verification and revocation
  • SPIFFE/SPIRE workload identity
  • MCP OAuth 2.1 + PKCE
  • SLSA-style provenance
  • W3C Verifiable Credentials + A2A

Delegation may narrow authority — never expand it.

Infrastructure for answering: what is an agent built from, and what is it allowed to do?

  • SPDX 3.0 AI Profile + CycloneDX ML-BOM v1.7
  • Agent discovery and inventory
  • Configuration drift detection
  • OPA policy enforcement
  • Identity / tool / data / model risk scoring
  • EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and ISO 42001 crosswalks

Treats agent failures as causal systems problems, not just log messages.

  • OpenTelemetry-native instrumentation
  • Causal graph reconstruction
  • Counterfactual failure attribution
  • MAST+ failure classification
  • Contextual-bandit recovery selection
  • Uncertainty-calibrated human escalation
  • Reliability scoring and topology risk

Open-source AI/ML auditing platform combining security assessment, red teaming, interpretability, alignment checks, and unified risk scoring.

  • Vulnerability scanning
  • Red-team attack simulation
  • Behavioral probes
  • Mechanistic interpretability
  • Alignment auditing
  • 7-dimension risk scoring
  • SIEM integrations
  • CLI + REST API + Docker

Security tooling for MCP implementations: code vulnerabilities, dependency CVEs, hardcoded secrets, MCP flaws, and tool poisoning.

Interpretability infrastructure for activation harvesting, SAEs, cross-layer transcoders, attribution graphs, feature interpretation, steering, and drift monitoring.

Self-hosted monitoring for public attack-surface exposure, open ports, risk scoring, and breach signals.

Interactive 3D exploration of quantum cryptography and attacks using Qiskit + Godot, including BB84 and Grover's algorithm.


The Common Thread

Most of my recent work follows the same loop:

       AI SYSTEM
           │
           ▼
      ┌──────────┐
      │ OBSERVE  │
      └────┬─────┘
           ▼
      ┌──────────┐
      │  ATTACK  │
      └────┬─────┘
           ▼
      ┌──────────┐
      │ MEASURE  │
      └────┬─────┘
           ▼
      ┌──────────┐
      │ ENFORCE  │
      └────┬─────┘
           ▼
      ┌──────────┐
      │  IMPROVE │
      └──────────┘

I'm especially interested in the layer around the model: identity, permissions, tool execution, telemetry, evaluation, failure handling, and security controls.

Learning in Public

I build from first principles — from neural networks and LLM internals to the infrastructure required to deploy, observe, evaluate, and secure agentic systems.

Some projects are experimental. Some are research-adjacent. Some are production-oriented. I prefer making the work inspectable over pretending everything is finished.
