What Drives Me

I thrive at the intersection of deep technical tradecraft and strategic program building. I've taken security programs from zero to mature operations, built Rapid7's entire IoT security practice, helped build Samsara's offensive security program, and now advance red team and AI security work at DoorDash. I believe the best security leaders never stop being practitioners.
