GhostKey Development

I founded GhostKey in 2026 to take on security engineering that most shops avoid. The firm builds and audits post-quantum cryptographic systems, cryptocurrency protocols and custody infrastructure, and runs its own penetration tests rather than subcontracting them.

The guiding rule is that anything we ship gets attacked in-house first. Clients get the same treatment: full-scope audits across web, cloud, network, mobile, smart contracts and source code, plus fractional CTO work for teams that need senior technical leadership without a full-time hire.

GhostKey Passphrase Generator

A passphrase generator that never sends anything over the network. It draws words from the EFF long wordlist using the browser's cryptographic random number generator, so a six-word phrase carries about 77 bits of entropy.

Each result is checked against a bundled list of common passwords before it's shown. It's the tool I point people to when they ask how to replace a weak master password.

OnTrial

When SpookyGood merged with Justice Solutions Group in 2024, I became JSG's CTO and led the build of OnTrial, the firm's client platform. It gives attorneys, insurers and risk managers fast background checks, asset searches, due diligence and geolocation research, with AI assisting report preparation.

The engineering challenge was speed without losing accuracy: investigators needed reports in hours rather than days, and every finding still had to stand up to scrutiny in litigation.

TRFFC

A non-profit project on Solana, announced alongside the JSG merger, with the goal of funding the people who investigate human trafficking. Its NFT collections were designed to sponsor human-intelligence operators and OSINT investigators working real cases.

SpookyGood

I started SpookyGood in 2020 as a blockchain-forensics and cyber-intelligence practice. Most of the work was tracing cryptocurrency after a theft or scam: romance scams, pig-butchering schemes, fake exchanges and fraudulent investment platforms.

Tracing funds across wallets, mixers and exchanges showed me where systems really break, usually at key handling and human trust rather than the cryptography. That lesson shapes how GhostKey designs and tests systems today.
