AI Security Engineer

Jonathan R Reed

I am an AI security engineer focused on testing and hardening LLM systems that need to ship in the real world.

I study Cybersecurity & Risk Management at UT Dallas and work as an EMT-B. That keeps my approach practical, calm under pressure, and grounded in risk prioritization.

Since 2019, I have worked on adversarial AI testing, secure deployment patterns, and product execution for privacy-sensitive environments.

How I work

  • Tight feedback loops

    I share progress early so direction stays aligned while we build.

  • Written handoff

    Every engagement ends with clear notes your team can execute fast.

  • Private by default

    I bias toward local and private-cloud patterns when risk is high.

  • Low meeting overhead

    Async-friendly collaboration with concise updates and fast decisions.

My expertise

Core work I deliver for teams building and shipping AI products.

Adversarial AI testing

Prompt, agent, and tool-chain abuse testing before production rollout.

Local LLM deployment

Model setup, quantization, and API integration on your own infrastructure.

Security architecture review

Threat modeling, access control checks, and practical remediation priorities.

Product + security execution

Translate security findings into sprint-ready plans your team can ship.
