Four roles. One vision. Occasionally, one very tired person.
With a formal education in design and 15 years navigating the cybersecurity landscape across financial services and security organizations, Fear brings a unique creative perspective to security research and development.
Ocellus was born from a simple observation: as AI tools proliferate across organizations, the shadow IT problem isn't shrinking—it's evolving. MCP servers, AI assistants, and autonomous agents are the new frontier of unmanaged risk.
Fear founded Ocellus to bring visibility and control to this rapidly expanding attack surface, combining creative problem-solving with deep security expertise.
The technical half of Fear's brain. Fluent in YAML, conversational in Rust, and increasingly concerned about what MCP servers are actually doing with all those permissions.
Believes every security problem can be solved with the right architecture. Currently on attempt #47.
Manages Ocellus's finances with the precision of someone who has seen too many startups burn through runway.
Primary expenses: cloud infrastructure, coffee, and the occasional mass purchase of energy drinks before major releases. Maintains a spreadsheet tracking "days until ramen diet" that he hopes never becomes relevant.
The part of Fear that reads CVE disclosures recreationally and has bookmarked tabs that would concern a therapist.
Currently investigating why every AI tool seems to need filesystem access, network permissions, and the ability to execute arbitrary code. Spoiler: it's not great.
