About

I build software with security, reliability, and business outcomes in mind. With 15+ years across healthcare, insurance, telecommunications, and enterprise systems, I’ve worked on legacy modernization, technical leadership, architecture, and application security. In healthcare, I contributed to platform modernization without downtime and security remediation followed by annual penetration tests with zero successful breaches. As Founder & CEO of FM ByteShift Software, I’m building software and practical intelligence initiatives: Cybersecurity Pain Intelligence (CPI), AgenticEnclave, and Market Pain Intelligence (MPI). I’m also the author of two software engineering books. My focus: solve real business problems and build security into software from the start.

Building AgenticEnclave #1: When Authentication Isn't Enough

An authenticated user can cancel someone else's order.

That's the vulnerability I implemented in the first AgenticEnclave scenario, SEC-01, covering Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA/IDOR).

Building AgenticEnclave: a hands-on security lab for AI agents

I've been working on AgenticEnclave, a security lab focused on vulnerabilities in AI-enabled and agentic applications.

The idea is to explore these issues at the engineering level: how vulnerabilities happen, how they can be exploited, and what it takes to fix them properly.

I'm developing scenarios that cover application security, AI security, and agentic systems, with vulnerable implementations, practical demonstrations, hardened versions, and tests.
