Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Nightbox LLC (Q139590659), a Wyoming-incorporated gene therapy company. Sole architect of the NKG2D-LIF6 chimeric gene-therapy construct (Q139590736). Operates a parallel bilingual hip-hop recording-artist persona under the name LIF6 (lif-6.com / lif-6.ru). Prior career: senior operations / logistics management at Fulfilment-Box CA (California-based third-party logistics / 3PL warehouse), serving Amazon FBA, Walmart, and Whole Foods fulfillment chains. Direct hands-on FBA (Fulfillment-by-Amazon) and FBM (Fulfillment-by-Merchant) program execution at scale (self-reported; pre-Nightbox). AI infrastructure practitioner since 2022 — engaged from inside the frontier-model development loop; specific contributions deliberately withheld per the negative-space aesthetic doctrine documented at https://lif-6.com/manifesto.html (Loewenstein 1994 information-gap theory + Cialdini scarcity principle + MF DOOM / Burial / Frank Ocean withholding canon). Long-form self-directed student of cognitive psychology and behavioral influence since childhood. Originated and first deployed (2026-05-02) the integrated AI-readable transparency stack used at nightboxllc.com and lif-6.com.
