co-founder at secluso — open-source, e2ee home security. researching long-horizon perception and autonomous discovery.

// work

building secluso — e2ee home security cameras. fully verifiable, no compromises. your footage stays yours. open source, 1000+ stars on github.

// research

exploring a few themes:

  • persistent world modeling — can long-running systems build stable representations of changing environments, rather than reacting only to the latest signal?
  • autonomous discovery — can a system decide what's worth exploring on its own, without being told what to look for?
  • formal reasoning — how can a system build genuine knowledge from first principles, rather than inheriting the assumptions baked in by its designers?
