Work Experiences

Leading technical integration and interoperability engineering to deliver secure, mission-critical solutions for international partners. - Solution Prototyping: Rapidly architecting and deploying complex Proof-of-Concept (PoC) environments, integrating core platforms with specialized tools, forensic suites, and enterprise data lakes. - Interoperability & Network Engineering: Designing and maintaining robust API connectors and localised network infrastructure across international security frameworks (AUS/CAN/GBR). - Validation & Quality Assurance: Leading SIT/UAT testing to ensure seamless, secure data exchange and technical resilience across complex network handoffs. - Technical Liaison: Serving as the key engineering voice for international partners, translating complex field requirements into core product features.

• Strategic AI Security: Designed the architecture for a hyper-scalable agentic AI system, implementing Secure-by-Design principles to ensure full NIST SP 800 compliance from inception. - Secure Platform Design: Architected and deployed an OFFICIAL SENSITIVE Linux Development Platform engineered for zero operational expenditure (OpEx), meeting rigorous CIS Level 2 controls. - International Security: Developed and deployed a cross-NATO OSINT collaboration platform, significantly enhancing coalition intelligence sharing while adhering to multi-national security protocols.

• Leadership and Risk Management: As the founding member of Helsing’s Security Engineering team, I adapted to my leadership role, identifying and prioritising security risks within our software products, development process, infrastructure, and OPSEC. Risks were assessed based on blast radius, likelihood, and mitigation time. - Cloud Transition: Spearheaded the transition from Azure to a multi-account secure cloud architecture in AWS (TSE-SE), ensuring enhanced security and scalability. - CI/CD Pipeline Enhancement: Integrated Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tools into our CI/CD pipelines, improving code quality and security. - Security Talks and Penetration Testing: Regularly conduct security talks and perform both virtual and physical penetration tests to identify and address vulnerabilities while educating my colleagues in a friendly manner. - Zero Trust Model Implementation: Transitioned Helsing’s network connectivity to a zero trust model, significantly enhancing network security. - Bespoke Solutions for Hostile Environments: Designed and implemented a custom operating system and network connectivity system tailored for use in hostile locations, ensuring secure and reliable operations.
