Founder, GHOST ARCHITECT SYSTEMS LLC
Secure AI Systems · Local-First Runtime Engineering · Applied Cybersecurity · Evidence-Audited AI
David Boswell is the founder of GHOST ARCHITECT SYSTEMS LLC, focused on local-first AI infrastructure, secure software systems, GPU runtime validation, and evidence-backed AI operations.
His work sits at the intersection of:
- local AI runtime engineering
- post-quantum security architecture
- GPU acceleration and quantization workflows
- AI confidence calibration
- audit trails, receipts, and chain-of-custody systems
- operator-first software design
The objective is not to present AI as magic.
The objective is to make AI systems inspectable, testable, auditable, and owner-controlled.

GHOST is the working architecture behind the company direction: systems that are not only powerful, but also verifiable.
The Autonomeon Kernel is the evidence-audit architecture behind the broader GHOSTAI concept.
Its core idea:
AI systems should be allowed to adapt only inside a controlled execution path where changes, outputs, dependencies, and decisions can be logged, verified, replayed, and cryptographically attested.
Key themes:
- deterministic execution
- signed evidence trails
- post-quantum security planning
- license and dependency receipts
- replayable audit logs
- validation before promotion
- owner-controlled local operation
GHOSTNODE1 is the local engineering system used for runtime validation, model workflow testing, and owner-controlled AI infrastructure experiments.
