AI SECURITY · FRAMEWORKS · SPEAKING
Making AI risk observable,
controllable, and enforceable.
I work where AI agents meet the real world—turning security questions into frameworks, working tools, and conversations that move teams forward.

THE QUESTION BEHIND MY WORK
Agents can read data, invoke tools, retain memory, and make decisions across systems. Understanding the model is only one part of understanding the risk.
My work follows the full path from a request to its consequences: what the agent can access, what it is allowed to do, what we can observe, and where we can intervene.

ABOUT
I’m an AI security practitioner, builder, and speaker. As Field CTO at WitnessAI, I work with customers and partner with sales, product, and marketing teams to connect AI security with enterprise adoption.
Before WitnessAI, I spent a decade at Palo Alto Networks across security operations, Cortex, cloud security, and specialist overlay roles. Earlier at Dell, I brought network security into larger infrastructure conversations.
That field experience shapes how I work today: explain the risk clearly, build something that makes it tangible, and give people a practical way forward.
