I'm an AI Security Engineer at MasterControl, where I own the company's AI security program end to end: leading the deployment of our LiteLLM gateway and Onyx guardrails platform, enforcing AI governance through Netskope and our Acceptable Use Policy, and building detection coverage for prompt injection, data leakage, and shadow AI across both internal developer tooling and customer-facing environments. I also run formal AI security training for our engineering teams, grounded in the OWASP LLM Top 10 and agentic AI risks.
Before stepping into AI security, I worked in cloud security and vulnerability management in a FedRAMP environment — Tenable, Wiz, and AWS for NIST 800-53 compliance, scanning coverage during DISA STIG audits, and a Security Champions Program that cut remediation time by 85%. Earlier, in Security Operations, I deployed NIDS and honeypots, validated detection rules through adversary simulation, and built real-time dashboards for executive visibility.

When the laptop closes
I stay sharp through CTF challenges on TryHackMe and write about what enterprise AI security actually looks like in practice on Substack. And if it's a race weekend, I'm watching Formula 1 — Red Bull Racing, Max Verstappen. This site's colors are not a coincidence.
