As a Distinguished Engineer in the Office of the Chief Product Officer at Palo Alto Networks, I play a pivotal role in shaping the future of cybersecurity. Leveraging my expertise in adversarial machine learning and the security of machine learning, including Large Language Model (LLM) systems, I connect and advise cross-functional teams on the strategic integration of AI into our security products. With a passion for driving innovation and enhancing cyber defenses, I serve as a technical authority, ensuring the resilient and robust application of cutting-edge technologies in the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity.

Developed novel methods of detecting trojan models for the IARPA TrojAI program and presented results for sponsor review.

Developed a research program for machine learning based cyber defense for enterprise networks.Created ongoing process to integrate academic research into team work-plans and experiments. Program chair for Privacy and Security track at Apple MLSummit and the first ML4Cyber workshop at ICML.
