You lead from the front on a startup paced, AI first security team. One moment you're whiteboarding agentic system architecture with principal engineers, the next you're deep in code shipping a feature alongside your team. You drive sprint planning, decompose ambiguous problems into clear technical paths, and unblock your team when things get hard. You author vision docs, build consensus across stakeholders, and mentor engineers who are growing fast. You don't just talk about AI assisted development, you establish the practices and set the standard. Every day you're building products and building a team. About the team
