I am a US Air Force Cyber Warfare Operator with a TS/SCI + Poly clearance, separating from active duty in July 2026. The work is who I am. I built my first computer at nine. I taught myself C++ and Python in my high school library and read the hacker literature I could get my hands on. I pentested my school's systems and gained admin access. I taught cybersecurity to other students before I could legally vote. My Air Force career has been the continuation of work I had already been doing for a decade — applied at the national level, against the kinds of threats most people will never see. PILOT is a boutique cybersecurity practice for high-net-worth individuals and families. We bring the operating model used to protect federal agencies and sensitive organizations into the private household — quietly, continuously, and through a small team of former federal cyber operators. We do not pursue scale. We work with a small number of clients, by referral, and we tell prospective clients honestly whether we are the right fit for them. PILOT exists because the capability used to protect governments and Fortune 500 executives is rarely available to private families — and those same families are increasingly targeted by the same actors. Consumer apps cannot do this work. Generalist IT providers cannot do this work. The firms that protect enterprises do not scale down to a household. I am building PILOT to close that gap, for the small number of clients who require it.
