Barry's
AI

Practical intelligence. Engineered, not just prompted.

I build and apply production-grade RAG systems, advanced prompting frameworks, and AI-augmented workflows that solve real problems in cybersecurity assessment, compliance documentation, and complex operational domains — not demo-ware.

Real Problems, Real Systems

Defense
AI-Augmented SSP Generation

Custom RAG pipeline that produces assessor-ready System Security Plans with explicit inline citations in hours instead of weeks.

Compliance
Gap Analysis & POA&M Synthesis

Directed AI agents that perform rapid control-gap analysis against NIST 800-171A and generate preliminary POA&Ms.

Enterprise
Secure Knowledge Retrieval

On-prem and VPC-deployed RAG systems for organizations that need powerful search without leaking data to public models.

Methodology
Prompt Engineering Frameworks

Battle-tested prompting libraries, chain-of-verification techniques, and evaluation harnesses.

Philosophy

Engineering Over Experimentation

Foundation
Grounding in Source Truth
Every output traceable to evidence

I refuse to ship systems that hallucinate confidently. Retrieval quality and evaluation are first-class engineering problems.

Iteration
Human-in-the-Loop Refinement
Assessor-grade evaluation loops

Every production system includes structured human review and citation verification.

Deployment
Secure & Observable
Production realities, not demos

Focus on private deployments, audit logs, cost control, and graceful degradation.

Current Focus

Active Research Areas

I am focused on making large language models reliable instruments for high-stakes, evidence-based work in regulated industries and government-adjacent domains.

Let's Build Useful Intelligence

I am selective. I work best with organizations that have real data, real stakes, and treat AI as disciplined engineering.
