Security Systems Practice

I work on software and workflows that help people make sense of security signals, connect context and act with more confidence.

The interesting part is rarely one tool: it is the path between data, analysis, decisions and the humans who need to trust them.

Local AI, Carefully Applied

I explore self-hosted generative AI systems that keep sensitive work close to where it belongs, from model serving and inference performance to tools people can actually use.

Local-first is a practical design choice: more control, clearer boundaries and fewer mysteries between a prompt and a result.

Agentic Security Workflows

I build and experiment with agentic workflows for cybersecurity and threat-intelligence analysis—joining AI orchestration, security tooling and human judgement without pretending the human belongs out of the loop.

THE LAB

Things I build because I want them to exist.

Experiments that escaped the notebook: useful products, musical machines and playful ways into difficult subjects.

THE THROUGH-LINE

Understand the system.
Then make it useful.

I’m an engineer in Madrid who tends to get interested in the layer underneath the obvious one. If a product uses an LLM, I want to understand the inference stack. If a security tool sees an executable, I want to understand the binary. If software involves music, I probably want to build the mixer too.

I work across AI, cybersecurity and systems, but the recurring thread is making complex things legible and useful. I like local-first tools, open-ended problems and building from first principles—whether the result supports a serious security workflow or helps friends put songs in the right order.
