Senior Cybersecurity Engineer · Founder, SurfaceVector · Builder of Horus
I'm a senior cybersecurity engineer with two decades in the discipline — half of it leading communications and cyber operations in the U.S. Marine Corps, the other half engineering and defending production security environments in the private sector. I hold a CISSP and maintain an active TS/SCI clearance.
I built Horus because the AI tools I needed for my own daily security and engineering work didn't exist as products I could trust. Every commercial option asked me to send code, logs, prompts, and infrastructure context to someone else's cloud. That's not a position a serious security engineer should ever be in. So I built the local-first agentic system I wanted to use — and now I sell it, with my name on it, to people who need the same thing.
Horus is a local-first AI operator. It runs on your own hardware via Ollama. No prompts leave your machine. No code leaves your machine. No telemetry, no phone-home. It exposes a 120-tool local operator suite — file ops, code search, PTY terminal, git, SSH, PM2, process control, Ollama model management, media generation, and a staged-edit approval workflow that keeps a human in the loop before any change touches production.
Your data never leaves the machine. There is no cloud inference layer to leak through.
You own the models, the tool rules, the workspace jail, the audit log.
Staged edits + human approval — not blind autonomy. Built for environments where mistakes have consequences.
No vendor outage takes you offline. No pricing change strands your workflow.
SurfaceVector is operated under Demigon Holdings LLC, a North Carolina-registered entity. We also operate HTMLforme, a hand-coded web development practice serving Jacksonville, Wilmington, Surf City, Hampstead, Sneads Ferry, and Topsail Beach.
If you're evaluating Horus for personal use, a team, or an enterprise environment with compliance constraints, the fastest path is a direct conversation. I personally read every inquiry.
