Co-founder at Crittora

Secure AI agents in production

I lead strategy, design, and development of Crittora's cryptographic experience stack — the trust layer that authorizes what agents can do at the moment they act. We enforce explicit, time-bound authority and signed Proof-of-Action receipts for every action.

Projects

abstract cryptographic control layer
Crittora

The cryptographic control point between AI agents and real systems, enforcing explicit, time-bound authority at execution.

Signed Proof-of-Action receipts make every action measurable, enforceable, and auditable.

execution-time authorization gate
Agent Permission Protocol (APP)

Execution-time authorization layer for AI agents that verifies a signed, time-bound permission envelope before any tool runs.

Prevents forged calls, replays, and over-broad actions while creating portable, verifiable receipts.

secure document verification
Qripton Verify

Enterprise-ready platform for securely sharing sensitive documents with identity-bound access control and zero setup.

Only the intended recipient can decrypt and view the file, with full auditability.

Curriculum Vitae

I'm a technology leader focused on execution-time security for AI systems. I lead cross-functional teams building cryptographic controls that make authority explicit, enforceable, and auditable at runtime. I believe durable security comes from clear policy, rigorous implementation, and strong collaboration.
