I build practical web systems, automation workflows, and AI-security tools from DeKalb, IL.
My current work sits in two lanes:
- HighEncode Learning: local-business websites, lead-flow automations, and operator tooling for small teams.
- Prompt defense and AI security: prompt-injection scanning, rules-based guardrails, and evaluation workflows for AI-assisted systems.
I care about evidence-backed builds: working demos, readable code, documented tradeoffs, and checks that make the next iteration easier.
- Shipping focused websites and automation systems for operators who need clearer intake, follow-up, and handoff flows.
- Building and polishing Prompt Defenders as a prompt-injection scanner and rules engine.
- Turning AI-security evaluation work into public-safe defensive artifacts: threat models, checklists, scoring rubrics, and reproducible toy cases.
- Using multi-AI workflows carefully: source checks first, tool boundaries explicit, and public claims verified before publishing.
Privacy-first prompt-injection scanner with a versioned rule pack, severity scoring, API surface, CLI workflow, and public rule documentation.

- Use case: pre-LLM request scanning, prompt-library review, and guardrail triage.
