How is this different from a simulation?
Job dbfqc3vgdj9s73bc8o20. Noiseless values come from a statevector simulation of the same circuit.
Turning technical evidence into decisions people can explain.
I build security tools, research systems, and hands-on quantum experiments. My work connects post-quantum cryptography, cryptographic discovery, applied AI, and technology evaluation, with traceable evidence and human review built into the workflow.

Research intelligence · Open the desk →
Source-linked briefings across cybersecurity, PQC, quantum computing, AI, and cloud. Notebooks and investigation workspaces keep evidence, interpretation, uncertainty, and human review visible. The feed above comes straight from its daily evidence ledger.

An edge demo explaining observable TLS and HTTPS posture while keeping missing PQC and crypto-agility evidence visible. Modern transport signals do not establish ML-KEM support or enterprise migration readiness.
Reproducible research
Strong classical baselines and quantum-kernel experiments with training-only preprocessing, shared partitions, provenance, and statistical checks. The classical reference evaluation is complete; quantum nested cross-validation is planned. Research only, with no quantum-advantage or clinical-validation claim.

Evidence before claims. Strong baselines before conclusions.
Preserve provenance. Make uncertainty visible. Design for reproducibility. Keep security boundaries explicit and decisions accountable to people. A model, score, or prototype supports a decision; it does not authorize deployment or operational action.

Post-quantum readiness, crypto-agility, technical assessment, and applied quantum research: cryptographic-inventory reviews, NIST guidance commentary, a co-authored PQC risk whitepaper, vendor pilots, and hybrid quantum-classical experiments on real hardware.
Six workstreams in detail
- Support federal PQC readiness through cryptographic-inventory reviews, discrepancy resolution, and migration-evidence assessment.
- Developed and delivered stakeholder briefings and a program webinar on federal cryptographic inventory requirements, connecting technical work with planning and reporting.
- Contribute to assessments across PKI, cloud, data, networking, mobile systems, and analysis of alternatives. Developed project scope, methodology, questionnaires, and supporting architecture and inventory documentation.
- Develop reusable workflows and prototype AI-assisted evidence review using synthetic data, source provenance, quote checks, explicit findings rules, and recorded human decisions.
- Authored technical summaries and formal review comments on NIST guidance for key generation, digital signatures, storage confidentiality, and cryptographic module validation.
- Co-authored a published whitepaper on operationalizing cryptographic risk for PQC migration and contribute recurring quantum-safe research communications.
- Led a scoped PQC vendor pilot and recurring technical presentations, coordinating work from scoping through demonstration.
- Coordinated quantum/PQC partner engagements, technical deep dives, and capability reviews. Conducted vendor-landscape research with comparison criteria and sources.
- Collaborated on hybrid quantum-classical fraud-detection experiments and live demonstrations using quantum hardware.
- Built educational quantum cryptographic attack demonstrations and reproducible demo environments supported by setup documentation, debugging, integration tests, and validated baseline releases.
- Developed self-paced quantum workshop materials connecting Python, machine inspection, hardware selection, and small circuit experiments with explanations and troubleshooting.
- Continue developing interactive quantum learning tools and practical colleague demonstrations that distinguish simulation, hardware execution, and experimental limitations.
