∀ data ∈ 𝔻 : data.knows(self) ∧ data.defends(self)
Founder of saf.ai and Trustifier. Enterprise architect. 30+ years delivering mission-critical systems for DND, DoD, and NATO. Holder of US Patent 12,045,224.
My career spans kernel-level Unix security in the 1990s, $100M+ DoD/DND program delivery in SCIF environments, and now AI-native ransomware protection through Cybernetic Engrams® — data blocks that transform into neural network weights capable of self-verification and self-repair.
I operate at both ends of the stack: CISO-level executive who has advised DoD PEO STRI and earned a CWID 2009 Blue Ribbon, and hands-on engineer who has written production Rust, built custom Linux distributions, and designed a stealth CPU for the US Navy.
I studied number theory under Dr. Bassam Nassrallah at the University of Ottawa — mock-theta functions, q-hypergeometric series. That training in rigorous abstraction still shapes how I think about systems.
