I work with companies and investors on security architecture and threat modeling, AI and LLM security, privacy engineering, fraud and abuse defense, and technical due diligence. Engagements range from fixed-scope reviews to ongoing advisory, and each ends with a clear, prioritized plan for what to fix and how.
I have advised fintech, AI, and critical-infrastructure organizations since 2018. Previously, I was a System Architect at Samsung Research America (Knox, Samsung Pay) and a Senior System Engineer at St. Jude Medical.
