My claim to fame is my first contribution to an open source project that was merged in. And it's in Hermes Agent which I use extensively.

Currently shipping a AI agent for monitoring our logs for signs of penetration of our systems. Despite having various tools every hack finds vulnerabilities none of the tools discovered. And the current fallback of a DevOps engineer noticing something is not reliable. Go figure.

Wow, the pressure to have to ship something to chat on here!!
