Distributed systems, agentic analytics, and production infrastructure.
Distributed systems engineer specializing in secure, AI-enabled infrastructure .
At Leidos I own agentic analytics, graph retrieval, and GitOps platforms, and I lead
high-performance networking and zero-trust work. As founder & CTO of
Manticore Technologies I ship PeerWeave — local-first P2P development
infrastructure — plus Field Node and open blockchain tooling.
