The best product I’ve worked on…

Google SecOps !

what i've built with AI

A Next Generation Threat Hunting and Inteligence Correlation Platform which is running in Production in a Regulated Entity.

I'm the person in every team who…

Likes to take ownership. I like to do things End to End.

My hot take about working with AI is…

It’s going to make jobs that didn’t need to exist in the first place go away. Humans would still be needed when Ownership needs to be taken.

The last shipped feature I'm proudest of…

Adamic–Adar algorithm for Threat Correlation

The hardest problem I've personally solved...

Learning to understand RACI Matrix and growing as a leader.
