My e-commerce startup — a marketplace built around AI-assisted workflows and mobile-first experiences. I wear a lot of hats here, but security and AI engineering are the ones I care about most.
Roger Neal
AI Security Engineer for the cloud
I secure AI/ML systems and multi-cloud infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Most of my work sits where security engineering meets hands-on building — threat modeling, hardening LLM deployments, and helping teams move fast without leaving risk behind. I like building things, breaking them thoughtfully, and writing about what I learn along the way.

About me
I'm an AI Security Engineer and cloud security specialist with hands-on experience across AWS, Azure, and GCP — securing AI/ML systems, cloud infrastructure, and enterprise applications.
I've spent the better part of a decade threat modeling AI pipelines, hardening LLM deployments, and helping teams move fast without leaving security behind. I work with frameworks like CIS, NIST, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and SOC 2, but I care more about building things that are actually secure than checking boxes.
Outside of client work, you'll find me building side projects, contributing to open source, or experimenting with Swift, Rust, and Python. I have a B.A. in Economics from The Ohio State University — which probably explains why I think about risk the way I do.
Certifications
A few credentials I've picked up along the way. All verified on Credly.
Things I've built & contributed to
A mix of startups, open source, and side projects that keep me learning.
inferust
A Rust crate I published for inference-related utilities. I enjoy working close to the metal when the problem calls for it.
Swift SDK for Android
I joined the Swift.org workgroup helping expand Swift into Android development. Cross-platform engineering is something I've always been drawn to.
Contributing to the Hummingbird Swift web framework — testing features, validating capabilities, and joining discussions on performance and design.
Writing
Occasional notes on AI security, cloud, and whatever I'm thinking about.
Welcome — glad you're here.
I built this site as a home for my work, projects, and ideas. I'm open to interesting conversations — whether that's contract security work, a collaboration on an AI product, or just swapping notes on cloud architecture.
