The Machine

Code, security, and AI in plain language. What matters, what doesn't, and how to protect the people you love.

Code, security, and AI, in plain language.

The Machine is where my day job meets the dinner table. I’m a security engineer, and I got into this work for a personal reason: my grandmother was scammed by people hiding behind technology. Watching someone I love get taken advantage of made it real.

Your home doesn’t need a security operations center. It needs someone who does this for a living to tell you what actually matters, what doesn’t, and what to do about it. That’s what this pillar is for.

What you’ll find here

Scams and how to spot them, protecting your kids and your parents online, using AI without getting used by it, and the code and tools I’m building along the way. No fearmongering, no jargon, and no question too basic.

New notes go up every week, and The Sunday Letter rounds them up once a month. New here? Start here.

// The Sunday Letter · monthly

One honest letter a month, on a Sunday.

Once a month, on a Sunday: every post from the month by pillar (The Man, The Life, The Machine), the social threads worth catching up on, and one thing worth your time. No fear, no jargon. Unsubscribe anytime.

Written by me. I use AI only as a revision tool, the way you’d use a good editor. The words are mine.
