//What I do
My focus areas
Four areas that intertwine: security, applied AI, automation and cloud.
02
AI / LLM
AI applied to security: RAG, agents, self-hosted LLMs, AI red teaming and MCP.
03
Automation
Workflows and pipelines that remove repetitive work: n8n, Zapier, Make, GitHub Actions, CI/CD.
04
Cloud & DevSecOps
Multi-provider cloud — Google Cloud, AWS, Azure, OCI — with security baked into the dev cycle.
