• Make sure AI solutions meet enterprise security, privacy and governance needs, including GxP/regulated-environment expectations where they apply.
• Write up designs, runbooks and findings; present progress and recommendations to client leadership.

• Hands-on experience building with LLMs, AI agents or ML in a security context.
