A snapshot of where my time is actually going. Inspired by Derek Sivers' /now page convention — a counterweight to the everything-everywhere framing of an "about" page.

Building out the observe / reason / decide / act / store loop in the Pathfinder AI scaffold. Currently focused on the reason layer: local-first inference via Ollama with structured output validation before any act-layer call goes out.
Working through reviewer feedback on the agentic-VAPT systematic analysis. The empirical-validation gap is the principal rejection risk — Pathfinder AI is the answer, but the paper needs to flag it as forthcoming work without overclaiming.
Training complete; now in active revision. Focus areas: Zero Trust architecture, regulatory compliance mapping, and resiliency design.
Three CE audits in active delivery for Q2–Q3. Each at a different stage: questionnaire authoring, evidence consolidation, and one in remediation pre-submission.
Expanding the SWaT-inspired Modbus testbed from a single zone to a two-zone segmented topology. Goal is to evaluate Pathfinder AI's behaviour against zone-crossing operations — a more realistic OT attack path than flat-network testing.
Drafting a write-up of the OpenAI Model Craft Challenge submission — what the 51% loss reduction actually came from, and which choices generalised versus which were 1.5B-parameter-specific.
Painting a custom Deathwatch army for Warhammer 40K. Local club shooting fortnightly. Trying to read more fiction (Black Library) this year and failing.
