I build agentic systems and the infrastructure that keeps them trustworthy.

Founder & Principal Engineer at VeriSwarm — the cross-platform trust layer for AI agents: deterministic 5-dimension trust scoring (including Brier-scored confidence calibration), transparent MCP tool-call interception, prompt-injection defense, and tamper-evident audit trails.

• veriswarm-sdk — Node and Python SDKs plus a 90+ tool MCP server with Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and Codex integration (automatic PII-guarding hooks included)
• APEX — multi-agent orchestration on the Claude Agent SDK: planning, implementation, testing, and review agents with Git worktree parallelism and a real-time web UI
• AI Infrastructure Curriculum — a 13-role curriculum maintained by autonomous agent runners with hard guardrails, append-only audit logs, and GitHub triage automation
• Streamspace — open-source multi-user container streaming platform (Go)
• Terminal Velocity — multiplayer space trading game playable entirely over SSH (Go)

15 years of platform engineering before the agents showed up — cloud automation across 7 global data centers (~7,000 VMs, ~400 enterprise customers), Cloud Center of Excellence work, and more Terraform than I care to admit.
