Defending Enterprise Infrastructure.
Pioneering AI Security.
Over three decades of mission-critical defense spanning the US Army, aerospace, global telecommunications, and managed SecOps—now driving safe Agentic AI architectures and model guardrails.
“I do 'all the things'.”
In security engineering, resilience isn't built in silos. With over 30 years of disciplined hands-on experience—starting as a US Army Paratrooper and NCO managing tactical digital communications and cryptographic systems—my approach unites low-level packet analysis with high-level infrastructure design and modern AI automation.
Whether deploying global perimeter defenses, managing high-severity incident queues, or architecting agentic AI tooling with Anthropic frameworks, security is an end-to-end discipline.
