The author page now leads with operator work: Qtonic Quantum Corp, Qtonic Lab, QScout, and QStrike, rather than treating the book as a detached thought exercise.

The author page now leads with operator work: Qtonic Quantum Corp, Qtonic Lab, QScout, and QStrike, rather than treating the book as a detached thought exercise.
QScout and QStrike are framed as practical tools for quantum risk discovery, cryptographic debt assessment, HNDL exposure analysis, compliance mapping, and quantum-informed offensive testing.
The bio makes the cross-domain angle explicit: finance, technology, and New York University credentials supporting a board-facing security narrative.
