Twenty-five years building and defending large-scale technology — from AT&T's mobile network and Microsoft's developer platforms to leading security as CISO for global consumer platforms. I build AI-forward security programs, scale platform-engineering organizations, and start companies. Now I back founders on Canada's West Coast.
