I build for the moments when systems are most needed.

What must still work when ordinary infrastructure cannot be assumed?

I am interested in the capabilities communities and organizations need when networks are down, cloud services are unreachable, or the available information is incomplete. The work is practical: preserve communication, situational awareness, and accountable decision-making when conditions become difficult.

At the cyber-physical edge.

My experience in security, law enforcement, and regulated manufacturing informs a systems view: digital failures have physical consequences, and technology is only useful if people can operate it under pressure. This is where security, continuity, communications, and human factors converge.

Governance, risk, and compliance.

Before security, there was the audit. For six years I kept about 900 private-label food products compliant with FDA, USDA, and FTC requirements, where every claim needed evidence and every gap had a corrective action. That is GRC under a different name: map the requirement, own the control, prove it ran.

I bring that discipline to cybersecurity, backed by an MS in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance and CompTIA Security+ and CySA+. The question I ask of any control is the one an auditor will ask: can you prove it?

WeanTech LLC.

I founded WeanTech as an applied R&D company for resilient systems. Its first research program, Project MESH, asks whether a small team can establish secure local communications in 15 minutes or less without commercial Internet or cellular service. AI is a tool in that work — not the product, the premise, or the only path to a working capability. A second line of inquiry, Project ARENA, examines autonomous agents operating under adversarial conditions.
