25+ years bridging the gap between Strategic Leadership and Hands-on Innovation.
Specializing in API Security, Cloud Native Architecture, and Agentic AI.
I recently architected and built Automated Cognitive DAST, an open-source tool that utilizes Google Gemini and OWASP ZAP to translate natural language into security tests.
"Instead of configuring complex policies, you simply tell the AI: 'Check for IDOR on the payment endpoint', and it orchestrates the rest."
