About

Who I Am

I work at the intersection of AI and financial services risk — helping institutions design, govern, and validate AI systems that regulators and internal stakeholders can trust. At Crowe, I lead engagements where the goal isn't just to ship a model, but to build the controls, documentation, and oversight structures that make it defensible. I'm most useful when the problem involves both technical judgment and regulatory context — translating between what the model does and what the business actually needs to know.
