Work Experience

About

I am a builder of systems—both technological and human—that scale, secure, and sustain the future of intelligent software.

As the AI DevSecOps & MLOps Engineering Lead within Deloitte’s Cyber Innovations Portfolio, I report directly to the COO of Cyber AI and oversee a cross-functional team of elite engineers and technical functionals, including DevSecOps, MLOps, LLMOps, full stack, QA, test automation, and delivery professionals.

My mission: to secure intelligence by design—embedding trust, scalability, and velocity into every layer of the AI development lifecycle.

From idea to impact, I help usher advanced AI solutions through the full software delivery journey:

• Ideation → Requirements → Technical Design
• Team Assembly → Development & Prototyping
• QA → Beta Testing → Piloting with Journey Clients
• Compliance → Production Deployment → Operational Handoff

I specialize in navigating the crossroads of security, innovation, and large-scale deployment—ensuring every asset is engineered to thrive in both battlefield and boardroom.

Whether you’re building the next-gen cyber AI platform or seeking operational alchemy, I’m here to light the path forward.
