"You will the future into existence."
I like building systems that are fast, secure, and useful.
I've worked at Microsoft (M365 Substrate), Chainguard (supply chain security, backed by Sequoia, Redpoint and Kleiner PErkins), and Flatcar Linux (Kinvolk, now Microsoft).
People I’ve worked with say I have drive, curiosity, and get things done.
I spend my time on Linux, security, infrastructure, and AI.
Outside work, I explore biotech and life sciences.

Automated SELinux Policy Analysis
Manual SELinux audits are slow and error-prone. I built a graph-based framework that turns policies into embeddings and applies ML models (RF, SVM, MLP) to detect misconfigurations. It reached 95% accuracy in spotting violations, outperforming existing tools. Published with IEEE/Elsevier. -
Literate Executables for GNU Screen
Explored the idea of literate executables, where binaries and source code can be derived from each other. Applied this to GNU Screen, making it easier to audit and understand. Work done with Dr. Kelley (ex-HP Labs).
