About

I fix broken systems. PMF gaps, GTM stalls, marketing inefficiency, messy ops, bad data flows — I’ve solved them across early-stage startups, enterprise environments, and chaotic AI-first teams. I build and deploy AI that actually moves metrics. My background in security isn’t a footnote. It’s 18 years of breaking things, defending things, and understanding how systems fail in the real world. That’s why the AI I build doesn’t leak data, over-permission itself, or quietly turn into a liability. I deploy fast without torching the place.
