šŸ” Senior Solutions Architect | API Security Specialist | AI & Post-Quantum Strategist I help organizations make sense of complex security challenges ā€” from securing modern API infrastructures to building zero trust architectures that scale. With deep expertise in F5 technologies, OAuth, and identity standards like FDX, I bridge the gap between technical execution and strategic innovation. Currently focused on: Leading AI security initiatives, including securing Large Language Models (LLMs) from emerging threats Evangelizing post-quantum cryptography (PQC) in real-world deployments Developing gamified Capture-the-Flag challenges to train engineers in offensive/defensive API tactics Advising on infrastructure transformation, security automation, and cloud-native rollouts Outside of work, I stay curious ā€” whether it's road-tripping across North America with a trailer and a plan, writing an upcoming book on AI threat mitigation, or creating unforgettable RPG characters who cast spells with swords. Letā€™s talk security, strategy, or why your TLS handshake failed at 3 a.m.
