I build security infrastructure for AI agents and accountless privacy tooling. My work spans three theme arcs: tools that help agents reason about sources and route payments, privacy primitives for people who want to operate without accounts or central operators, and network and DNS-layer defenses for the environments agents run in.

This is where I write about what I'm building, document lessons learned, and explore the intersection of security, privacy, and practical software engineering.
