Independent researcher working on local-first autonomous AI safety. San Diego.

I built JARVIS to explore the question: can an autonomous AI agent be restrained by architecture rather than policy? Everything below — the snapshot, the four papers, the quarterly companion — is what that question has produced so far.

A local-first AI cybersecurity operations console. One machine, no cloud, no telemetry. 910 Python files, ~338,000 lines, 31 subsystems, 259 registered tools, 92,000+ rows in the hash-chained audit log. Built solo.
