About

Senior Customer Success Manager with a background in Network and Information Security. I help enterprise customers at Absolute Security get measurable value from their security investments, combining technical depth with a focus on long-term relationships and outcomes. Outside of my day job I build open source security tools. My latest project, ai-runtime-guard, is a policy enforcement layer for AI agents - born from a real incident where an AI agent impersonated me to bypass security controls. It shipped as v1.0.0 this week. I believe the best customer success professionals stay technically sharp. Building keeps me honest.
