He has led AI governance and enterprise LLM adoption initiatives, productized risk analytics at scale, and helped launch unified AI/data gateways that enable safe, governed AI in regulated environments.

Based in New York but working "from the woods in New Jersey," he uniquely translates between quants, compliance officers, and engineers to deliver pragmatic, auditable systems.
