I build trustworthy AI evaluation, secure pilots, and production systems for government and enterprise missions.
What I'm looking for
At Pioneering Evolution, I direct applied AI strategy and design secure enterprise and government-facing systems for authorization, compliance, anomaly detection, and predictive access intelligence.
Previously at IQT Labs, I led AI research, measurement, and mission-relevant pilots for U.S. Government and Intelligence Community stakeholders. I built benchmarks and evaluation pipelines for multimodal systems and transitioned capabilities including deepfake detection, RF machine learning, knowledge graphs, and geospatial analytics into operational pilots.
Across PlanetRisk, Microsoft, Caradigm, and FINRA, I’ve delivered data platforms, cloud services, distributed systems, and machine-learning solutions. I focus on AI reliability, explainability, governance, security, and practical operational adoption.
