Building for the moments when systems are most needed.
I am a practitioner-researcher working at the intersection of resilient systems, cyber-physical security, responsible AI, and human decision-making under disruption.
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.
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.
