Get StartedHow I Help
Security Audits
Your AI-generated code has problems you can't see. Hardcoded secrets, missing auth, unthrottled API calls, prompt injection risks. I'll scan it, explain what's wrong, and show you how to fix it.
Agentic Coding Training
You're building with AI tools but getting inconsistent results. I teach structured workflows that make AI-assisted development deterministic, auditable, and actually reliable.
Development Services
You need a senior engineer who ships. Platform architecture, API design, system reliability—longer-term engagements for teams that need real depth, not just advice.
Who I Am
I'm Madeleine Muscari—AI/Platform Engineer & Technical Lead with 20 years across academia and the tech industry. I've seen how tech treats small businesses: oversold, underdelivered, ghosted. I left to do honest work at fair rates.

Heritage
The Ontologi archive spans three generations of American visual art, design and invention, rooted in an Italian lineage tracing its roots through martyrs of the Neapolitan Revolution of 1799 and the Registro delle Piazze Chiuse del Regno di Napoli, to 1398, when the family was entered into the Order of Malta.
The works of Alfred F. Muscari and Matthew Muscari form the source material for Madeleine Muscari's neural sculpture practice, in which family artworks are processed through variational autoencoders, diffusion models, and NeRFs to be rendered as 3D-printed forms—a computational continuation of a multigenerational conversation between craft, technology, and image-making.
Alfred F. Muscari (1903–1992)
Industrial designer, painter. Alfred spent his career as an Art Director at AT&T, where he co-designed the iconic American telephone booth (US Design Patent 197,963, 1964), created the illuminated dial for the Princess phone, and contributed to the AT&T Pavilion at the 1964 New York World's Fair. He was a member of the Salmagundi Club, painting landscapes in oil and watercolor—lighthouses, winter streams, the eastern seaboard. He also designed a Tudor Revival home in Teaneck, New Jersey, which became an architectural model for the surrounding neighborhood. He was a Life Member of the Telephone Pioneers of America.
Matthew Muscari (1946–2019)
Printmaker, photographer, educator. Matthew earned his BFA from the New York Institute of Technology (1970) and his MFA from Pratt Institute (1973), specializing in intaglio, traditional lithography on stone and metal plates, and silkscreen. He was a resident of the Westbeth Artists Community in Manhattan and part of the Mudd Club scene in late-1970s and early-1980s New York. His prints were exhibited at the Brooklyn Museum, shown in multiple solo exhibitions at Ward-Nasse Gallery, and purchased by the United States Information Agency for international exhibition. He taught art across New Jersey for over two decades—in Paterson Public Schools, the Montclair State University Gifted and Talented Program, and the Teaneck Board of Education—working in printmaking, painting, drawing, photography, cartooning, and Chinese brush painting.
