Technical lead with a cyber security background, strong stakeholder-facing delivery experience, and hands-on product ownership.

I work at the intersection of people, process and technology. I lead developers, work closely with stakeholders and customers, and turn operational problems into reliable systems. I bring a security-minded approach to SaaS, infrastructure and business workflows.
