About
I've spent my career in cybersecurity, building trust into the products people rely on every day. My job, mostly, is to sit between engineers who want to move fast and executives who want to know what could go wrong — and make both of them right.
Lately that work has meant securing agentic AI: gateways for MCP, agent-to-agent controls, guardrails for RAG pipelines, and threat models for systems that act on their own. I believe security should be a business enabler, not a blocker — and that the systems we secure today are the ones the next generation inherits.
I hold an MBA from Carnegie Mellon's Tepper School of Business (Technology Strategy and Product Management), a BE in Computer Science, and CISSP and CCSP certifications. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area.
