I know how to build things that work. Now I'm building something that matters.
I spent years in enterprise software learning what it takes to build systems that actually work at scale — the kind where failure isn't an option and security isn't an afterthought.
When AI agents started taking off, I saw the same patterns I'd seen before: powerful technology, rushed to market, with security bolted on as an afterthought. Exposed credentials. No audit trails. Users trusting systems they didn't understand.
I knew how to fix it. So I did.
The mission
AI is getting powerful fast. And it's reaching people who aren't engineers — small business owners, creators, professionals who could genuinely benefit from an AI assistant.
But the barrier to entry is either "figure out complex infrastructure yourself" or "trust a system you don't understand."
I believe everyone deserves access to AI superpowers. But only if it's safe enough to trust.
Carapace is the protective layer that makes that possible. Security built in, not bolted on. Control that makes sense. AI that works for you without keeping you up at night.
I'm building this solo because I move fast and I know exactly what needs to exist. No committees. No compromises. Just a focused product solving a real problem.
Based in North Carolina. When I'm not coding, I'm on a basketball court, golf course, or soccer field. Competitive by nature — in sports and in building products.
