Vulnerability researcher since 2016. Former criminal investigator. CTO at Aether Systems Labs. Operator of Deep Fork Cyber.

I find what ships broken, then I build machines that find it faster than I can.

Hundreds of CVEs credited across a decade — memory corruption, logic flaws, and protocol failures in software the internet runs on. Not scanner output. Reported, confirmed, fixed.

Knowledge graph → in-house AI SAST → graph-aimed fuzzing → agent swarms → working exploit → patch → retest. Seven stages, one loop, no humans in the boring parts.

49 confirmed findings across 16 bounty programs. July 2025 – July 2026.

Browsers, geospatial SDKs, password managers, CI systems, identity providers, an anonymity network, and a crypto exchange. The engine is not tuned to one stack.

A candidate is not a finding until it runs. Every submission ships with a reproduction, an end-to-end exploit, and the patch that closes it.

A published catalog of the top 25 failure amplifiers in AI-assisted software development — the weakness classes that emerge specifically when a model writes the code. Bridges the OWASP LLM Top 10 to MITRE CWE, with machine-readable cross-references. CC BY-SA 4.0.

CTO. Edge-AI sensing and cryptographically attested observation for denied, degraded, and intermittent environments. Hardware-rooted signing, strict schemas, fail-closed by default.

The premise: an unsigned observation is not an observation.

→ aetherai.systems

Autonomous vulnerability research at repository-estate scale. Signed-receipt primitives for agentic systems — deterministic CBOR, capability tokens bound to receipt hashes, denied actions recorded. Supply-chain intelligence across public package registries. Privacy-first systems tooling, including sigint, a keystroke-dynamics dead man's switch written in Zig.
