I'm a software engineer with a physics and math background. I've spent ~15 years shipping production software at Apple, CrowdStrike, and earlier in scientific computing and medtech, and these days most of my curiosity goes to how large language model systems actually behave. I run controlled experiments on them and write up what I find, including when my hypothesis turns out to be wrong.

At my day job, I integrate threat detection using machine learning in production, at scale, against adversaries who actively try to evade it. Outside of work I build and stress-test LLM systems, agents, training-data pipelines, and evaluation. Check out the ideas and projects I've posted.
