About.

I work across the whole stack at an AI animation startup: product code, the cloud platform under it, and the models I train on top of it, with security across all of it. I teach the same ground I work on. Seven years before that in cloud infrastructure, security, and delivery, most of it in consulting and security architecture.

I also teach. I built the eCloudture eLearning platform, designed cloud training and workshops, and have spoken at CYBERSEC 2024/2026 and COSCUP 2026: cloud security blind spots, CDK account takeover, AI-run kill chains. Teaching is how I check the work: if I can’t explain an architecture clearly, I probably haven’t understood it well enough.

This site is my workbench: writing, talks, courses, and experiments in progress.
