What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and deploy practical AI security controls for enterprise LLM, MCP, and agentic workflows, combining technical discovery, production delivery, customer enablement, and continuous red teaming.

At QuilrAI, I deploy and operate guardrails for enterprise AI applications, LLM gateways, MCP gateways, and agent workflows. I run POCs and production deployments spanning shadow AI governance, AI DLP, endpoint agents, and gateway controls.

I secure AI traffic against prompt injection, jailbreaks, system prompt leakage, hallucinations, token flooding, tool poisoning, tool shadowing, and excessive agency. I also run automated red teaming and translate OWASP, MITRE ATLAS, NIST AI 600-1, and ISO/IEC 42001 findings into guardrail and policy changes.

Previously, I delivered roughly 100 Zscaler projects across ZIA, ZPA, ZDX, and DLP, supported Skyhigh CASB, SWG, and CSPM evaluations, and resolved enterprise SonicWall security cases. I bring hands-on delivery across network, cloud, data, and AI security—from architecture workshops and technical discovery through production deployment and enablement.
