Thornveil is one engineer who refuses to wait.

The shift from analyst to builder happened gradually, then all at once. I taught myself to code on overnight watches and ship codepaths in production. The patents started piling up. The agents started doing real work. By the time I left active service I had a portfolio of defense-relevant systems that nobody else was building — sub-2-million-parameter models that beat 60-million-parameter baselines on tested benchmarks, autonomous counter-UAS interceptors with acoustic detection, an Arabic NLP stack 62 times smaller than the state of the art.

Thornveil is the company that ships those systems. RigRun runs frontier models on hardware you control with no per-token fees and no cloud dependencies. Pyros is a pure-Go safety perimeter that wraps any LLM in a 7-pillar pipeline. HawkStack trains custom small models for any domain where edge inference matters. The Agent Factory builds tested domain experts in days. Mycelium turns whatever devices you already have into a self-healing AI mesh. Every system was first internally validated building Thornveil's own product portfolio — if it works for me, it works for you.

I'm still a one-person shop today. That means you talk directly to the engineer who built the thing. No account managers, no sales cycle, no quarter-end games. When you need a custom agent built, an audit run, or a model trained on your data, the work happens in days, not quarters.

When I'm not shipping, I contribute to Marine Coders — a community of active-duty and veteran Marines learning to build software. The same instinct that drove me to write my first script on a SCIF workstation is the one driving Thornveil now: the people closest to the mission should own the tools.
