Summary
Seth Hardy is a contract software engineer and founder with 13+ years of hands-on experience building secure, production-grade systems across cloud, edge, and embedded environments. A former security researcher and reverse engineer, he leverages deep expertise in threat modeling, red-teaming, and hardware roots-of-trust to deliver resilient AI and IoT solutions—recently shipping chip-to-cloud computer vision and agentic AI tooling for startups and enterprises. As co-founder/CTO of a climate tech startup he led product and engineering from prototype to revenue-generating on-prem and SaaS deployments, and he’s also co-founded multiple community art-tech spaces and an arts festival. He blends pragmatic full-stack engineering (Python/FastAPI, TypeScript/React, GCP/AWS) with security-first design, including prompt-injection defense and custom orchestration for multimodal agents. Based in Las Vegas, he prefers making things that work in the real world—whether that’s scalable software or large interactive fire-shooting art installations.
