I build systems that secure communications and enforce privacy at the protocol level.

Nine years as a startup CTO shipping privacy and security infrastructure: consent verification, policy enforcement, and detection of communication and data misuse, backed by 12 granted patents. Before that, VR/AR R&D and academic research in geometry processing and computer graphics. I read about software and tech in my free time because it's genuinely what I enjoy.

What I work on

consent.verify()

Privacy consent verification

Infrastructure that checks whether data collection actually matches the consent a user gave, so GDPR compliance is something you can verify instead of just claim.

policy.enforce()

Policy enforcement in traffic

An autonomous trust layer that sits on everyday communications, across the OSI stack, and enforces what data gets gathered, by whom and for what.

traffic.inspect()

Communication misuse detection

Watching communication flows for abuse: data exfiltration, over-collection, and parties using a channel beyond what was agreed. Misuse gets flagged and blocked, not just logged.

trust.assure()

Security assurance

Continuous, verifiable evidence that systems and third parties handle data securely, so security posture is something you measure instead of assume.

context.infer()

Private-data analytics

Managing communication data and mining its patterns to work out privacy and security context dynamically, so anomalies stand out without hard-coded rules.

VR / AR & real-time 3D

Where I came from: immersive VR and AR systems in 2015–2017, built on a foundation of geometry processing, 3D math and computer graphics research.
