About

I am an early pioneer of Responsible AI bias bounty hunting, with both an Offensive Security Certified Professional (OSCP) and an Offensive Security Certified Web Assessor (OSWA) designation—as well as years of experience building DevSecOps programs with Fortune 100 enterprise organizations. I have a collegiate education in both Computer Science and Psychology, which has afforded me a unique perspective in this historic moment as companies seek to safely and securely deploy Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies at scale.
