Production AI systems running today — Claude in the decision loop, real users, an open model on my own GPU teaching a room. More live infrastructure than I had at a funded dot-com in 2000.
What I build →Security leadership, now building with the models
For 25 years I've been the one who had to answer "are we actually secure?" and mean it.
Streaming media, the DNS root, Bloomberg's first CISO, years working with the US Government on behalf of Wall Street. Now the models are good at security work, and someone has to show defenders what that means in practice. I run this technology myself, every day, and I can put it in front of a room and explain what it's doing.
- 150,000
- options a model scores for every token. I show rooms of CISOs how.
- L2–L7
- network visibility, wire to application
- 5
- machines in one agent fleet, in production daily
- 4
- patents in network visibility & streaming
The through-line
Build it. Secure it. Sell it. Verify it.
Secured
Bloomberg's first CISO. Tapped the network at L2, L3, L4 — and watched the humans on it. Built correlation engines before SIEM was a category, and worked with the USG on behalf of Wall Street.
The record →Sold
Invented Gigamon's inline L2 SSL Intercept, drove $500M+ in closed government revenue, and rang the Nasdaq bell. I've been in the room where the business gets made.
Patents & deals →Verified
Walked into a shared research box at Gonzaga's IIAT lab with one L40 and no owner. Found the monitoring had been dead since install. Shipped verified backups, an off-site copy, and the runbooks. Then built the lab's teaching wall on top.
The lab work →The pivot, in one paragraph
The models are good at security work now. The missing piece is the person who can get it inside a regulated building.
The builders of frontier AI have done remarkable work on model-layer safety. What is still thin is the deployment-layer story: the one that lets a bank's CISO sign off on putting this technology to work inside a regulated institution, and then lets the security team use it to its fullest instead of fencing it off.
That story needs someone who has lived on both sides. I've sat in the regulated-industry CISO desk at Bloomberg and run the ransomware program at the largest credit union in the US. And I know this technology from the inside, because I run a fleet of agents in production, I serve open models on my own GPU, and I've stood in front of rooms of security people and shown them, token by token, what a model is doing.
I don't talk about AI. I run it, and I can show you how it works.
