Keynotes on AI, security, and trust—human systems for machine systems, translating machine behavior into human decisions. Twenty-five years of building secure systems, distilled for your audience.
Talks defined by audience, technical depth, and outcome. Systems, trust, architecture, human judgment—and how AI changes the way software and work actually happen.
Staying Human While We Rebuild How Software Works
The talk that blends technical reality (deterministic → probabilistic systems), business implications (trust, risk, buyer confidence), and the human story (judgment, relationships, identity, work). Adaptable for technical, executive, or student audiences.
How AI changes attack surfaces, trust boundaries, and runtime behavior—and what to do about it.
How to make trust a product and engineering capability—not a policy document.
AI makes it easier to build, easier to ship, and easier to break trust.
Alt: "You're Not Competing With AI—You're Competing With People Who Know How to Use It Well"
How to build your career when everyone has AI tools. Optimistic and practical.
Designing AI-enabled work that people can actually trust.
How to stay grounded when technology can simulate almost anything.
Every talk can be tailored. Different audiences get different depth, different framing, different outcomes—same core insights.
Deep technical knowledge, translated into language anyone can act on. No jargon gatekeeping.
Every claim verifiable. Every insight grounded in 25 years of building systems that protect people.
Technology should serve people, not surveil them. Optimistic but clear-eyed about what's at stake.
I don't just talk about technology—I'm still in it, every day. Hands-on work keeps the insights real and the advice grounded.
Security tooling, AI integrations, and systems architecture. Still shipping.
Red teaming AI systems, breaking things to understand how to build them better.
Keynotes, workshops, and executive briefings. Translating complexity into action.
Twenty-five years building systems where trust isn't optional—it's the architecture. From enterprise security to AI safety, I've led teams through the hardest problems in tech.
Now I translate that depth for audiences who need to understand what's happening—and what to do about it. Whether you're a room of CISOs or a general audience worried about deepfakes.
A proud nerd with thick black glasses who believes the future belongs to those who can explain it clearly.
