"I bring over 30 years of applied experience in cybersecurity, software systems, and artificial intelligence—leading innovation in both government and industry. I’ve held senior roles supporting agencies such as the U.S. Secret Service and TSA, where I led identity and access management programs, advanced Zero Trust architecture, and managed large-scale cybersecurity initiatives. Today, I lead AI and hybrid computing projects through my own innovation company.
My academic background includes a Master’s degree in Sustainable Development (With Merit) from the University of Sussex, plus executive programs from Carnegie Mellon (CISO-Executive), MIT (Leveraging AI for Effective Decision Making), Oxford (AI Governance and Leadership), COSO Enterprise Risk Management, and Stanford (Strategic Decision-Making and Risk Management, Advanced Computer Security). I also hold industry credentials including CISSP-ISSAP, CRISC, CSSLP, RIMS-CRMP, CEH, Security+, and CCSP.
I’ve worked across regulated sectors—defense, healthcare, finance, and energy—designing secure infrastructure, designing AI-enabled solutions, and guiding organizations through modernization, compliance, and workforce upskilling.
In AI for Generalists, I teach actionable skills professionals can use immediately—whether mastering tools like ChatGPT or building core machine learning knowledge in data preprocessing, model evaluation, and responsible AI practices—helping you work smarter, automate tasks, and advance your career.
In Cybersecurity Career Mapping, I help learners chart career paths from entry-level to advanced roles, creating personalized roadmaps toward certifications and mastery in areas like Zero Trust, cloud security, and governance.
I’ve taught Linux+ and Security+ to adult learners and presented internationally on explainable AI, secure systems design, and quantum computing. Every session is tailored, using clear explanations, interactive demonstrations, and real-world scenarios to build both confidence and capability." less...
