About X-Static Process
XSP takes its name from Madonna's 2004 American Life track, "X-Static Process". It is a studio designed for the love of building, securing, and investigating. It's all about the process.
I'm Kelly Sharadin — a multimedia artist working in Applied AI Security Engineering. I made media professionally before I made security tooling: four years running video for the Fox School of Business at Temple University before moving into incident response, threat detection, and application security. XSP is where both practices continue.
I release electronic music as Ambriel, shoot photography, and write about cybersecurity and the aesthetics of technology. I also enjoy building applications in Flutter and TypeScript.
