Engineering notes
I’m Victor Chevalier. I lead cybersecurity software engineering at Stratascale, building systems for attack-surface discovery, exposure modeling, security automation, and AI-assisted engineering.
I use this space to document the work: architectures, experiments, benchmarks, failures, and implementation details behind side projects like ailocal and Cadence.

Static output, one isolated dynamic path, and a production host with no build toolchain — the decisions behind a deliberately small site.
About
Full profile →My background is in software and security engineering: product development, offensive security tooling and security architecture before I moved into engineering management, twelve years at AT&T on consumer product security and vulnerability research, and cleared software for the U.S. Intelligence Community before that.
