Beyond the day job at Wayfair, I’m dedicated to moving the security industry forward. Outside of my work at Wayfair I enjoy mentoring, advising on strategy, and advocating for a more collaborative security culture.
Advisory Board & Consulting
My time outside of work is fairly limited right now. I’m currently serving as an advisory board member for Google Security Operations and I’m also in conversations with a startup about a similar role, so I’ve been intentional about how I spend time externally. Because I value impactful work over “surface-level” consulting, I generally do not take on informal advisory calls or ad-hoc consulting projects.
Working with me: When I do get involved with companies, it’s usually through a structured advisory role where expectations and time commitment are clear on both sides. If that’s something you’re exploring, I’d be happy to learn a bit more about what you’re building and see if it might be a fit.

Security Advocacy
I am proud to serve as a Security Champion within the Google Cloud Security Community. In this capacity, I collaborate with peers to advance best practices in cloud defense, share insights on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) security, and help shape the future of cloud-native security controls.
Community Support
I am passionate about seeing more diverse and high-quality voices in our industry. To support the broader security community, reach out via Email if you’d like to chat about a CFP or a specific technical challenge:
- CFP Advice & Feedback: If you are preparing a submission for a security conference (Black Hat, DEF CON, BSides, Fwd:CloudSec, etc.) and want a second pair of eyes on your abstract or outline, I am happy to provide feedback to help you refine your message.
- Broad Technical Deep-Dives: I enjoy discussing anything security related, ranging from offensive Red Teaming and Security Engineering to defensive SecOps and strategic GRC.
Mentorship
I currently mentor three individuals, providing structured guidance for those looking to navigate the jump from tactical roles to senior engineering and leadership positions.
Status: Open to new mentees.
- How to apply: If you are seeking a formal mentor, please email me with a brief summary of your background and - most importantly - why you are seeking mentorship at this stage of your career.
