I build teams that ship in the figure-it-out phase.
I lead engineering for 0DIN, Mozilla's AI security product. Before that I helped Rackspace, DigitalOcean and Bestow scale through their high-growth years. I also coach people one-on-one and in groups who want to grow as leaders and as humans.
Securing AI at Mozilla
As Senior Engineering Manager for 0DIN, I lead the team building tools that help companies find and fix vulnerabilities in large language models and AI agents, before attackers do.
What we build
The GenAI bug bounty program, an AI scanner that tests models and apps for jailbreaks and prompt injection, and a threat intelligence feed of real-world AI exploits.
Where I've done my best work
A pattern: I join when things are growing fast and not yet figured out, and I help build the team and systems that let it scale.

What I bring
Engineering leadership
Hiring, growing and leading distributed teams across time zones. Clear goals, honest feedback, steady delivery.
Zero to one
Taking new products from idea to paying customers: scoping, building fast and learning from the market.
AI security
LLM vulnerabilities, red teaming, and turning research into products that security teams actually use.
Cross-functional work
Partnering closely with product, design, sales and research so engineering serves the business.
Platform and reliability
Cloud infrastructure, SLOs and the systems that keep fast-moving products up.
In front of customers
Representing products at Black Hat, DEF CON and Ekoparty, and working directly with enterprise buyers.
Grow on purpose
I coach people who feel stuck, or who are ready for the next level, in their career, leadership or personal life. Sessions are practical, focused and built around what you want to change.
- One-on-one sessions, 45 to 50 minutes
- Small group sessions
- Remote, or in person in Austin
How it works
- Intro call. We talk about where you are and where you want to be.
- Sessions. Focused work on the patterns holding you back, with practices to use between sessions.
- Check-ins. A short survey after each session keeps us honest about progress.
Let's talk
