Security product manager building production AI agents. Doctoral researcher on predicting AI misalignment before it reaches production. Host of Inside the AI.

Training

Three degrees, one line of work

Security, data and research, in that order. Each one is a lens the next one needed.

  1. Cybersecurity

    Master of Arts in Cybersecurity

    How systems break, who breaks them, and what holding the line actually costs. It is why every agent on the show is built with the attacker in the room.

  2. Data analysis and machine learning

    Master of Business Administration, Data Analysis and Machine Learning

    What the data can tell you, what a model can do with it, and whether it pays. The business case for an automation is settled before the first node is placed.

  3. AI misalignment · Expected 2027

    Doctor of Business Administration

    AI misalignment, and predicting it: the signals that show an agent drifting from what it was asked to do, caught early enough to act on.

Now

Current work

Agents in production by day, agents on camera by night, and the research that keeps both honest.

  • Product

    Security product manager

    Building production AI agents inside a security product. Scoping what an agent may touch, proving it stays there, and shipping it.

  • The show

    Inside the AI

    Weekly episodes: builds in n8n and Claude Code, repo reviews, and breakdowns of the incidents shaping AI security. Workflows and templates for members on Patreon.

  • Research

    Predicting AI misalignment

    Doctoral work on when AI agents drift from what they were asked to do, and on models that forecast it before the damage rather than explain it after. Expected 2027.

  • Shipping

    Models and products

    BLACKOUT, the offline survival AI, is the first model out of the control room. GrantLaunch finds and writes grants; LitTrace maps citations for doctoral researchers.

The builds, the breakdowns and the research, every week.
