Summary & Values
I design and build sovereign, auditable AI systems for places where failure has real institutional cost: healthcare, pharma, ministries, defence, and deep space life support. Values: Sovereign systems. Humans command. Humans win. Critical capabilities must stay under national or organizational sovereignty.
