Projects
KYRON
www.davidstreshinski.com/work/kyron
A community first-responder system: researched from public reports, built solo as a working web and mobile prototype in five weeks, then taken to the field. Three interviews showed no buyer or mandate, so I recommended not to build.
KYRON AI
www.davidstreshinski.com/work/kyron-ai
The advisor layer in KYRON’s incident flow: a separate, labeled layer with evidence on every recommendation, and nothing sent until the coordinator confirms.
Earlier experience
Chief Security Officer
Cruise and cargo ships
Led security aboard cruise and cargo ships across more than 80 countries. Managing incidents in complex, high-pressure settings shapes how I design command-and-control systems today.
