Summary
Gary L is a founder and Principal Offensive AI researcher with 11 years of experience building and hardening AI systems for high-consequence environments. Based in Washington, D.C., he has held senior AI and security roles at Microsoft focused on offensive AI security, red teaming, and CBRN risk mitigation before founding Tinycode to help organizations deploy secure, compliant AI into production. His background spans software engineering, cybersecurity, and biochemistry—skills honed at Booz Allen, USAMRIID, and academia where he taught reverse engineering and hardware security. He combines hands-on exploit development and threat modeling with practical production delivery, making him equally comfortable breaking systems and designing robust defenses. An entrepreneur since college (he once owned and sold a restaurant) who later served as CTO of a private firm, he brings both technical depth and operational grit to AI safety and security challenges.
