37 Years of Professional Excellence: 25 Years Cybersecurity, 12 Years Military Service

I've spent 25 years in the trenches of cybersecurity and network engineering, combined with 12 years of military service in USAF network operations. That's 37 years of experience defending America's critical infrastructure. I've seen what works, what fails, and what our government gets dangerously wrong about defending America's networks.

This isn't theory. This is from someone who has actually secured SACDIN networks, managed AWACS systems, and worked with JCSE on critical infrastructure protection. I bring a practitioner's perspective to cybersecurity policy, military readiness, and national security.

I'm also a published author on emerging technologies, AI security, and blockchain infrastructure — and I'm not afraid to say what others won't.

Where I Focus

Deep technical expertise combined with policy insight — because cybersecurity isn't just about technology, it's about defending America's interests.

China Cyber Threats & Critical Infrastructure

Salt Typhoon, Volt Typhoon, Silk Typhoon — understanding what the Chinese Communist Party is actually doing to America's networks. Critical infrastructure security, telecom hacks, and what our government is missing.

Military Policy & Veteran Advocacy

VA healthcare reform, military cybersecurity workforce development, veteran transition to tech careers, DoD network security posture — from someone who has lived both sides of the military-civilian divide.

USAFVA ReformDoDTransition

AI & Emerging Tech in Security

Artificial intelligence in cyber warfare, autonomous systems security, the policy implications of AI-enabled attacks, and what the government is getting wrong about regulating emerging security technologies.

Cybersecurity Policy & Legislation

Reading the actual text of cybersecurity legislation and explaining what it really does — not the press release version. CISA mandates, NSA guidelines, Congressional proposals, and executive orders decoded.

Cybersecurity Analysis

The media is calling the latest Chinese telecom hack "sophisticated." As someone with 37 years of professional experience — 25 years in cybersecurity and network engineering, plus 12 years of military service — let me tell you what actually happened — and why our government's response is completely backwards.

Veteran Policy

Congress just passed a VA reform bill. I read the actual text so you don't have to. Here's what it actually does, what it gets right, and the one provision that will make every veteran cringe.

National Security

TikTok isn't just a social media app. It's a data collection operation with direct ties to the Chinese Communist Party. Here's the technical reality that the debate keeps missing — from someone who understands the architecture.

Built by a Practitioner

Security tools built from real-world experience — not theory. When AI agents started getting access to production systems, I built the kill switch.

$KILLSWITCH
Runtime Fence — Because every AI needs an off switch.
Production Ready Python 3.11+ MIT License Sub-100ms Kill

Universal AI agent safety control — an emergency kill switch for ANY AI agent. As AI systems gain access to production infrastructure, trading accounts, and sensitive data, the question isn't if something goes wrong. It's when. Runtime Fence wraps any agent with real-time action validation, spending limits, audit logging, and an instant kill switch that fires in under 100 milliseconds.

    blocked_targets=["wallet_private_key"]

MCPShield
AI Agent Security Platform — Discover and secure MCP servers across your organization.
MVP Complete FastAPI + Next.js MIT License

As AI agents — Claude, Cursor, Windsurf — increasingly use MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers to interact with filesystems, databases, and APIs, most organizations have zero visibility into what's running. MCPShield automatically discovers every MCP server on your machines, scores each one for risk, and surfaces everything in a centralized dashboard. Multi-tenant, real-time, and built for enterprise.

Mondoshawan
Post-Quantum AI-Native Layer 1 Blockchain — Built with Rust for the post-quantum era.
Testnet Live Rust 1.75+ QMON EVM Compatible

Mondoshawan is a next-generation Layer 1 blockchain built from the ground up for the post-quantum era. Using NIST-standardized ML-DSA (Dilithium) signatures, GhostDAG parallel block consensus, and a novel TriStream mining architecture that splits rewards across GPU, ASIC, and ZK Proving hardware — it's designed to survive both quantum computing attacks and the centralization pressures that have plagued every major chain. Full EVM compatibility means existing Solidity contracts deploy without modification.
