Rick Glenn · Exocognosis

I build and rapidly ship useful technical projects that create real-world value.

I work on security, infrastructure, and product-oriented systems, with a focus on turning hard problems into working tools.

One of a small number of people building production post-quantum infrastructure as a solo architect.

Currently taking 1–2 engagements starting Q3 2026
