The person behind the work.

I'm a CISSP-certified security leader with years as a fintech CISO. I've built and run security programs for regulated financial systems — the kind where a breach doesn't just hurt the company, it hurts real people. That weight never leaves you, and it shouldn't.

When something is on fire, I'm the one who picks up the phone. Incident response isn't glamorous — it's containment under pressure, hard decisions with incomplete information, and the brutal honesty required to get an organization out the other side intact. I've been in those rooms and I know what it takes.

Availability is personal to me. I've built architecture that holds under serious load and serious adversarial pressure. More scale, more complexity, more stakes — that's where I do my best work. I genuinely enjoy the hard end of the problem space.

I'm a founding member of the Arizona Blockchain Applied Research Center (AZ BARC) and hold a patent in blockchain settlement. I'm based in Arizona. My work spans on-chain systems, regulated money movement, and the security and compliance layer that sits across all of it.
