Product leadership / AI / security / mountains
Building systems for trust, autonomy, and hard objectives.
I build cybersecurity, AI, and adventure products: from SASE and Zero Trust tools to human-AI signalling systems, privacy utilities, cryptanalysis experiments, and mountain planning software. The work is shaped by service in high-stakes security environments and a life spent pursuing hard endurance objectives.

Thought leadership
Writing and field notes live on LinkedIn.
I post regularly about cybersecurity product strategy, AI-native workflows, trust systems, and what I am learning while building in public.
