James Seale

Partnered with executive and technical stakeholders to align Cymulate deployments to business goals, unblock accounts, and accelerate renewals and expansion.

Designed cybersecurity solutions across IT and OT environments by leading discovery, mapping risk, and aligning architectures to enterprise security frameworks.

Worked with AWS customers to deploy cloud security controls, build security automation, and support large enterprise initiatives as a cloud security SME.

Helped customers deploy Rapid7 technologies and build SIEM and vulnerability management programs tailored to large-scale environments.

Led penetration testing across web applications, networks, and Active Directory environments while translating technical findings into practical remediation guidance.

Conducted penetration testing for DoD resources, supported physical assessments, and served as a lead instructor for new members in the cyber operations flight.

I tried some things with Claude Code. Hilarity ensued.

My daily driver for chat, search, images, and more. $20/month.

Go to for nearly everything besides coding apps with front ends. More often than not run with —dangerously-skip-permissions. $200 / Month

My software building tool of choice. Built this page with cursor. Also, amazing tool for getting access to the latest models. $200 / Month

My daily driver for the day job across chat, coding, and building.

Downloaded Altera agents and briefly played with them in my Minecraft world.

Mostly just the search API key my OpenClaw setup uses.

Started only very recently (March 2026) playing with Perplexity Computers.

My engine for AI-powered game dev. I heart open source.

One of my very first stops after getting AI-pilled in 2022. I used it with Ollama to run open source models (very, very slowly).

Experimented with several Python AI libraries in Jupyter while working at AWS.

Mostly used for KimiClaw, but the cheap inference included with a subscription is hard to beat.

Used very early for some game dev work. I also did a public vulnerability disclosure for the Meshy team.

Used Midjourney back when it was just a Discord app. I mostly use Gemini and Nano Banana now.

Experimented with automated AI workflows in my role at Amazon.

I have summarized literally hundreds of books and videos with NotebookLM. On more than one occasion I've loaded up entire college curricula and asked a billion questions.

My first foray into self-hosted AI.

He who needs no introduction. I use it for dozens of things. Mostly research heavy.

Mostly the API keys for OpenClaw.

I was a heavy Venice user before the token drop for their user base. It is my go-to provider when I truly need privacy.

Zapier was my first experiment with agentic workflows. Found it very frustrating at the time (summer 2025), stuck with N8N and Claude Code.

Downloaded immediately after Jensen's keynote in 2026. Effective for sure, but way less fun than unchained OpenClaw. policy.yaml is a PITA, but the value for enterprise is obvious.
