Projects & research.

Security tools, collaborative experiments,
and the work that started it all.

Arbiter AI

Local AI for alert triage.
Guardrails before judgment.

What happens when a model mistakes an attack for routine maintenance? That question led me to put deterministic guardrails around local AI.

Without a matching administrator-curated exception, the guardrail decides immediately. No model call is needed.
