ABOUT

Curiosity, made practical.

I’m Larry Rust. I’m building a body of hands-on application-security work and documenting the decisions, tests, and lessons along the way.

Understand before prescribing.

I want this portfolio to show the reasoning behind the work: how a system is designed, where trust is placed, what can go wrong, and how a mitigation can be tested.

The focus spans application security, identity, APIs, cloud environments, secure delivery, and AI systems. Projects will develop over time, backed by source code and detailed case studies.

Evidence over assertions.

This is an early portfolio. Planned projects are labeled as planned, and research outlines are not presented as findings. Completed work will include scope, reproducible steps, outcomes, and limitations.
