01 Practice areas
I turn frontier technology risk into systems people can operate.
My work sits between strategy and execution: aligning engineering, security, risk, privacy, legal, compliance, and executive stakeholders around AI and technology decisions that withstand scrutiny.
The objective is not more governance. It is evaluable systems, better judgment, clearer accountability, and durable trust.
AI Risk Engineering & Evaluation
Build model and system evaluation around testable scenarios, monitoring, technical evidence, and decision thresholds.
Product & Engineering Security
Bring architecture, identity, data access, threats, controls, and evidence into product decisions from the outset.
Enterprise GRC & Product Trust
Build scalable control and assurance systems that earn confidence from customers, regulators, and leaders.
Technology & AI Audit
Use technical depth, analytics, and automation to make independent assurance a source of decision signal.
Resilience, Data & Ecosystem Risk
Strengthen AI data, model supply chains, critical services, and external dependencies before disruption tests them.
02 Executive trust architecture
Standards are inputs. Assurance is the system.
Across every domain, policy and risk become evaluation, controls, observable evidence, and decisions.

AI governance & assurance
Govern and assure AI across its lifecycle.
Translate commitments into evaluable controls, system evidence, accountable oversight, and decisions across the AI lifecycle.

03 Proof in practice
What these capabilities produce.
Judgment shows up as outcomes, not just frameworks applied.
Operational assurance at product scale
At Amazon, I built repeatable trust mechanisms across global product regulation, security engineering, evidence, and resilience so emerging obligations become execution-ready.
Applied architecture for responsible AI
At Cyber Future Foundation, I architected and advanced RSAIF MOSAIC as an operating framework, learning pathway, and source of practitioner guidance.
Threat-informed independent assurance
Across regulated financial institutions, I brought engineering context, analytics, and risk judgment to assurance spanning cloud, identity, data, infrastructure, and resilience.
04 Leadership in the room
Ideas earn trust when they can be heard.
Selected moments from conferences, panels, and practitioner sessions.
05 Journey
A career building trust where technology changes fastest.
The through-line: technical depth joined with executive judgment across engineering, governance, audit, and industry contribution.
