- Infrastructure as Agents: Utilize Cloudflare Workers, Vectorize, and AI Gateway to build serverless, low-latency agentic architectures for real-time traffic analysis and remediation.
- Autonomous Assessment: Build and scale the engine for autonomous vendor security reviews and M&A assessments, transforming qualitative data into quantitative risk insights.
- Mentorship: Lead the transition for Developer and Automation Engineers into the AI space, fostering a culture of Agentic Security.
