What I'm working on

Guardian, Deep Media's agent layer. We're building autonomous AI agents that investigate fraud, disinformation, and other digital harms across the surface, deep, and dark web, and package what they find as audit-ready intelligence. The design problem I care most about right now is keeping a human at the helm: agents that compress weeks of investigation into hours without ever asking anyone to trust an unexplained verdict.

What I'm writing and thinking about

AI-enabled social engineering, and why the human firewall keeps failing. The gap between what detection can honestly claim and what buyers want to hear. Permaculture ethics applied to digital spaces.

Where to find me next

IAFCI International Training Conference, Grand Hyatt Nashville, August 25, 2026. I'm presenting "AI: both the cause and solution for all fraud fighters" at 2:00pm.
