About
I've spent fourteen years in cybersecurity, the last eight leading it for whole lines of business — cloud, applications, and the partners a company depends on. 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 I try to build it that way.
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.
