Shipping impossible things. Alone.
Principal Systems Architect (Security / Confidential Computing / Cryptography)
I build systems that prove their own integrity — for defense, intelligence, and critical infrastructure. Systems where logs can’t be wiped, history can’t be rewritten, and even the operator can’t cheat.
Author of ATL Protocol. From cryptographic standards and hardware-rooted attestation to sealed workloads and national-scale integrity layers. I ship complex security infrastructure solo, end-to-end: architecture → implementation → hardened deployment → minimal UI.
Remote, async-first, weekly prepay.
Featured Projects
ATL Protocol + Evidentum SaaS
The Infrastructure of Truth. When AI hallucinates, logs get wiped, or deepfakes blur reality — where do you look? ATL is the Flight Recorder: mathematically unforgeable history for defense supply chains, intelligence data integrity, ransomware forensics, court-admissible evidence, and AI accountability. Even we can’t rewrite it. Self-sufficient receipts verify offline. Open standard (Apache 2.0). NIST-aligned. TSA + Bitcoin anchoring. 5K+ RPS in Rust.
Evidentum SaaS — ATL-as-a-Service. The protocol is open. The infrastructure is hard. Managed integrity layer for SaaS, fintech, legaltech, and AI platforms. Anchor your audit trails without running your own nodes. Optional data custody with retention tiers from 24 hours to 10 years.
Thunderwind
Verifiable Computation. How do you prove that the code in the repo is exactly what’s running on the server — and that the data you receive actually came from that code? Thunderwind solves the “Last Mile” of trust: cryptographic proof that source → binary → runtime → output is an unbroken chain. Sealed execution environment with zero human access (no SSH, no console). Intel TDX + custom Remote Attestation CA. Built solo in 3 months.
Expertise
“How do we know it’s real?”
Cryptographic proof of history, provenance, and integrity. No trust required.
“Can we trust the runtime?”
Sealed execution, hardware attestation, environments where even admins can’t cheat.
“Will it hold up legally?”
Evidence chains that are timestamped, anchored, and court-admissible.
“Who’s going to build it?”
From protocol spec to production. Architecture → code → deployment. Alone.
Engagement
Weekly prepay. Scope freeze. One decision-maker on your side.
Why weekly? Because complex security work doesn’t fit in sprints, and hourly billing incentivizes the wrong things. You’re paying for outcomes, not hours.
Standard — $15K/week. Complex tasks, normal priority.
Hard — $25K/week. High ambiguity, multi-domain, elevated priority.
Emergency — $35K/week. Immediate start, queue priority.
Minimum: 2 weeks for new clients.
