Engineering & Securing What AI Agents Build. Partnering with Fortune 500 engineering leaders to deploy agentic AI at enterprise scale.
Engineering at the edge of AI and security
Principal Solutions Engineer working at the intersection of Agentic AI and Cybersecurity. I help enterprises adopt Agentic AI-assisted software development without losing control of their risk posture, and I help build the tooling that makes it real: security scanners for MCP servers and AI agents, OWASP standards shipped as Claude Code skills, and end-to-end CI/CD pipelines that show what "AI writes the code, security checks every line" looks like in practice.
My focus is agentic AI in production: securing agent and MCP workflows, and designing the guardrails and safety directives that let teams ship faster with AI, not slower. Two decades in B2B solutions engineering taught me to optimize for the things that actually move enterprises: discovery that uncovers the real business problem, solutions that prove value in the customer's own context, and architecture that survives production.
- Principal Staff SE, Applied AI Security & Architecture, covering Strategic Majors & Enterprise Named Accounts across the West at Snyk
- Driving the GTM motion for Snyk Evo, Snyk's agentic security layer for runtime governance of non-deterministic AI systems
- Built and shipped HyprWin's full-stack AI sales-enablement platform (Next.js, Python, LangChain, OpenAI API) to 11 paying customers in its first three months as Technical Co-Founder
- Open-source builder of MCP servers and Claude Code agent skills for security workflows, including claude-owasp-security-skills and snyk-ai-secure-pipeline
- 20+ years of pre-sales and field engineering across Snyk, Edgio, and Trimble, three Harvard Business School executive programs, and a track record closing 7-figure enterprise deals

Where I create impact
Agentic AI Security
Building and architecting security coverage for AI agents, MCP server environments, and non-deterministic AI-native applications, including runtime orchestration and evaluation loops via Evo, Snyk's agentic security layer.
Securing AI-Driven Development
Shipping 'Secure at Inception' guardrails directly into AI coding assistants, developer IDEs, and CI/CD pipelines, so AI-generated code, and the agents writing it, are secure before they reach production.
Enterprise AI Security Strategy
Partnering with CISOs, security architects, and platform engineering leaders to build mature AI security programs: from foundational asset visibility and exploitability-based prioritization to autonomous, agentic defense at scale.
20+ years at the frontier
Snyk
CurrentPrincipal Staff Solutions Engineer, Applied AI Security & Architecture
Snyk is the enterprise security platform built for the age of AI, where code is generated at machine speed and agents operate autonomously. As Staff SE covering GTM for Strategic Majors and Enterprise Named Accounts across the West, I build agent workflows, runtime evaluation loops, and MCP server integrations alongside the largest, most complex organizations as they operationalize AI security programs at scale.
HyprWin
Technical Co-Founder
Co-founded and built HyprWin, an AI assistant for enterprise sales teams, full-stack from zero: Next.js and Astro on the frontend, Python services on Vercel and Supabase, and a LangChain + OpenAI API pipeline for agent workflows. Reached 11 paying customers within the first three months, led early VC conversations, and exited my stake after joining Snyk.
Edgio
Principal Solutions Engineer, AppSec & Edge Compute
Edgio (later acquired by Akamai in 2024) was a planet-scale edge compute and application security platform. Led pre-sales engineering for WAAP and API security alongside serverless/edge deployments across React/Next.js, Vue/Nuxt, and JAMstack architectures for major enterprise accounts.
Contentful
Strategic Senior Solutions Engineer
Contentful is a 3x Unicorn and top private cloud company (#38 Forbes Cloud 100), powering AI-native composable content platforms for microservices-based architectures. Worked forward-deployed with customer engineering and platform teams on API-first composable architectures, owning pre-sales engineering and end-to-end technical evaluations for strategic enterprise accounts.
Trimble
Lead Solutions Engineer / Presales Solutions Architect
Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) delivers advanced technology solutions for every phase of the project lifecycle, with 20+ million users across 185 countries. Led developer-first pre-sales for connected worker, digital twin, and AR/VR/MR solutions, including Trimble Connect API/SDK integrations and real-time data flow across the Trimble Connect cloud platform.
