Why GRC Programs Fail (And How NIST Security Lifecycle Fixes It)
Four-phase closed-loop security program using NIST CSF 2.0. From risk assessment to continuous improvement—with real test case evidence proving it works.
Framework Redesign: What I Learned
A comprehensive audit revealed systemic architectural problems in the IA framework. Here's what patterns worked consistently, what caused failures, and why a complete rebuild is the only viable path forward.
Web Application Pentesting: OWASP-Driven Methodology
Professional web application security testing using OWASP Top 10, WSTG, ASVS, and API Top 10 as an integrated methodology - not just a checklist.
Pentest Workflows: Three Modes
Quality penetration testing at a fraction of the cost. AI-assisted security assessment with rigorous scope compliance, impact-driven prioritization, and professional deliverables.

Four-phase closed-loop security program using NIST CSF 2.0. From risk assessment to continuous improvement—with real test case evidence proving it works.
Hierarchical Context Loading: Reducing Token Usage 50-70%
Why bigger context windows don't mean better results. A three-layer architecture that loads only what's needed, when it's needed.
Skill-Command Consistency
After months of debugging agent routing failures, we discovered the real problem wasn't our code—it was our enforcement strategy. Here's what we learned.
Deleting the Smartest Component
The most sophisticated code in your codebase might be the most expensive to maintain. Here's why deleting clever components often improves everything.
Agent Routing Architecture: Why Small Agents Are Better Than Smart Ones
Agents under 150 lines that route to specialized skills. Identity and routing, not implementation.
Command Pattern Consistency: One Mental Model for All Workflows
How a 5-tier documentation architecture enables consistent, discoverable slash commands. Build once, reuse forever.
Skills as Expertise Modules: Building Reusable Solutions That Load On-Demand
Specialized skills with progressive context loading. Load only what you need, when you need it.
No Hardcoded Counts
Every framework says '43 tools' and becomes wrong the moment you add tool 44. Here's a controversial but practical solution: ban all hardcoded counts.
Multi-Model Orchestration: When Opus, Sonnet, Haiku, and Grok Each Have a Role
Building an LLM-agnostic architecture where model selection is a feature, not an accident. Five models, each with a role, ready for whatever comes next.
