About

I build and secure real technology. The work spans cybersecurity, server infrastructure, hardware engineering, and international sourcing, and it is increasingly pointed at one question: what does it take to run serious computing somewhere that was not designed for it?

Those four things are usually four different people. Keeping them in one head is the actual advantage. A security architecture that ignores the power budget is a document. A hardware design that ignores who will service it is a prototype. An infrastructure plan that assumes a reliable link is a plan for somewhere else.

I work across different places because the people, equipment, and practical problems are there. My usual cycle is Europe in summer and autumn, Asia in winter and spring, and a US trip in August. Specific project and conference plans change. The travel archive covers that side separately.

What I am building toward

Private AI and resilient infrastructure for constrained sites. The commercial shape of that is still being worked out, and it will get its own name and its own site when there is something real behind it rather than a landing page. In the meantime, the work happens under my own name and through the ventures below.

Speaking

I have co-presented a hands-on technical workshop at DEF CON 34. Topics I can speak to with actual material behind them:

• Designing infrastructure that can genuinely be supported remotely.
• Private AI outside a conventional data centre.
• What cybersecurity changes when software controls physical equipment.
• Lessons from field engineering and international hardware sourcing.
• Making a credible technical demonstration rather than an impressive-looking prototype.
