Current Work

Iron Jack Holdings LLC

Founder & Systems Architect · Dec 2024 – Present

Experimental systems company building consciousness-authenticated infrastructure. Integrating biometrics, signal systems, and symbolic interfaces for secure presence verification.

  • Filed 4 USPTO provisional patents covering breath-based authentication, EEG edge-hopping, biometric latency keys, and coherence resonance
  • Designed biometric pipelines (EEG, HRV, breath) with OpenBCI / EmotiBit for real-time coherence scoring
  • Engineered RF-integrated presence protocols using HackRF / SDR across 300 MHz – 6 GHz
  • Built ambient interfaces with glyphic recall to visualize signal coherence across 45+ presence nodes
  • Deployed distributed server architecture across 9 nodes for sovereign field operations
