STORY
The engineer who spent years protecting systems before deciding to reinvent them.
Before ATOM Labs existed, Quinton spent more than a decade and a half engineering, securing, and repairing some of the most complex enterprise environments in the world: Zero Trust rollouts, large-scale cloud migrations, Palo Alto architectures, high-stakes production systems, and thousands of breaks caused by invisible, uncontrolled behavior inside systems that were never designed to think.
His work was always the same: find the failure no one else could see, fix it, and make the system more stable than it was before.
When AI arrived, he recognized something instantly: **the same failures were coming - but amplified.** Models changed silently. Reasoning was non-deterministic. Behavior shifted without warning. Enterprises had no control point, no audit layer, no way to understand how cognition behaved across providers or environments.
The entire industry was building intelligence. No one was building the **system** that governed it.
