Karl Bernard

I’m an information-security veteran with over 20 years of experience - much of that working with Texas universities, and now serving at a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. I’ve been passionate about computers and machine intelligence for as long as I can remember, and over the years I’ve built a broad toolkit around cybersecurity, infrastructure, and systems resilience. My journey has always been about staying curious, adapting to new challenges, and helping organizations protect what matters.

When I’m not architecting security strategies or digging into zero-trust and network hardening, you’ll find me tinkering with model trains, framing a shot through my camera lens, or experimenting with AI tools - I like to bring a bit of creativity and tech-savvy to all of my hobbies. That combination keeps me grounded, inspired, and constantly learning.

Karl Bernard is a Director of Information Security with over 20 years protecting critical infrastructure—now channeling that expertise into sophisticated AI orchestration. He architects multi-tool workflows that move seamlessly between platforms, builds custom agents for compliance review and planning, and has developed his own context management systems to keep complex AI conversations on track. His security veteran's skepticism translates perfectly to AI work: systematic verification, multi-model cross-checking, and clear-eyed assessment of when to trust outputs.

These capabilities position Karl to solve the problems most organizations don't even know they have yet—building AI-augmented security operations that are documented, transferable, and resilient. The same mind that hardens networks is now hardening AI workflows.
