about

I'm a founder and technologist. At Guardal, we build next-generation defense technology that lets small teams defend against coordinated hazards numbering in the thousands.

Our mission at Guardal grew out of a lifelong fascination with collective behaviour: how thousands of simple agents, each following a local rule, produce order that no single one of them contains.

My research career has spanned France, the UK, Japan and the US. Previously, I used RL to improve adaptive perception and foveated sensing in embodied robotic agents. My ideas included developing adaptive sensors that dynamically switch modalities based upon prediction errors, and control systems that take input from those dynamic sensors.

The throughline from that work to Guardal is decision-making under scarcity.
