Lane Poole
Former Computer Science student at Emory University, Co-Founder of Calibrator AI, and red teamer.
My current work focuses on Security Engineering, red teaming, and offensive security — particularly around adversarial systems, detection gaps, and improving open source security tooling.
I write about red teaming, offensive security, ML systems, and things I learn while building.
