Selected Impact

Program ownership, guardrails, and adversary-driven validation work.

  • Owned security strategy and roadmaps for SaaS and enterprise clients as fractional Head of Security and vCISO.
  • Built CI/CD guardrails with pre-merge enforcement using SAST, DAST, SCA, SBOM gating, and policy-as-code workflows.
  • Hardened AWS and GCP environments with org-level audit logging, encryption baselines, least-privilege IAM patterns, and alerting for anomalous access.
  • Standardized Kubernetes security using Pod Security Standards, OPA/Gatekeeper policies, and RBAC normalization to reduce attack paths.
  • Led cloud and container adversary emulation and turned findings into detection and incident response playbooks with engineering teams.

Core Expertise

Security program ownership, AI agent validation, and cloud-native hardening.

Security Program Ownership

Roadmaps, risk framing, executive readouts, and cross-functional execution across AppSec, cloud, data, and AI risk in audit-driven environments.

The Hacker's Intuition

Most security training teaches you to follow patterns. Real hacking demands something else. Hacker intuition is the discipline of building a mental model, spotting the seams where systems disagree, and proving it with quiet, high signal tests.
