Founder · Sovereign Mohawk Proto LLC · Seattle, WA
Architecting sovereign infrastructure for distributed ML and kernel-bypass networking.
Systems engineer and founder specializing in memory-safe distributed infrastructure. Work sits at the intersection of:
- Federated learning at extreme scale (BFT, zk proofs, TEE aggregation)
- Post-quantum cryptography (ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA, hybrid TLS 1.3)
- Kernel-bypass networking (AF_XDP, zero-copy datapaths, lock-free routing)
Currently scaling Ghostlink — a distributed LLM inference fabric across heterogeneous hardware — and driving the 2026 post-quantum overhaul across the Sovereign Mohawk ecosystem.
