Senior Software Engineer · Chainguard · Remote
I work at the intersection of AI systems and container security. At Chainguard I co-architect an agentic AI orchestration platform that automates 70% of secure package creation across a 2000+ image catalog. Previously built the foundational FIPS and secure container images that became Chainguard's core product.

Agentic AI Orchestration Platform
Co-architected an event-driven agentic AI system at Chainguard that automates 70% of secure package creation, processing 200+ concurrent requests across a 2000+ image catalog.
vLLM Secure Container Image
Built a production-grade secure container image for vLLM at Chainguard, reducing CVE count from 700+ to fewer than 10 — a 98%+ reduction while keeping the full LLM serving stack operational.
llmwiki
A Go CLI that ingests sources (files, URLs, repos, PDFs, RSS/Atom feeds) and synthesizes them into a persistent, evidence-validated Markdown wiki using LLMs. Every page ships with byte-exact source quotes — hallucinated pages are dropped before hitting disk. Obsidian-native output with MCP server for Claude Code integration.
llmwatcher
A Claude Code PreToolUse hook that intercepts Edit/Write calls and surfaces a focused permission prompt when AI-suggested code contains secrets, hardcoded credentials, disabled TLS verification, or wildcard CORS. A tripwire against rubber-stamping AI edits — catches the small set of mistakes you'd most regret committing.
Chainguard Containers Catalog
Scaled Chainguard's secure container image catalog from fewer than 50 to 500+ images in 14 months, including Node.js FIPS, Python FIPS, and Keycloak. The catalog drove 7x ARR growth to $40M with 150+ enterprise customers.
