I'm leading a new team of applied scientists at AWS, building GenAI-powered services to scale security. Shifting into management is a recent change for me, and I'm finding it surprisingly rewarding. Mentoring and helping others grow has quickly become one of the most meaningful parts of my work.Earlier in my career, I've worked across both hardware and software, doing formal verification, model checking, interactive theorem proving, and programming in diverse settings. I've had the privilege of contributing to critical projects where security and reliability are essential, like Apple's A-series processors, AWS's Trainium chips, and the protection of Amazon's most sensitive customer data. Along the way, I've learned to balance my desire for clarity and quality with real-world impact.I'm passionate about making complex systems more secure, robust, and understandable. I've come to appreciate I can't do this alone. I deeply value collaboration and inclusion. I'm focused on building a high-trust team that motivates everyone to set the right goals and do their best work.
