Welcome to my personal site. Here you'll find some of my latest posts, podcasts, talks and publications on topics of interest for me. Hopefully they're of interest to you too.
I'm the founder of Generative Security, where we test and protect conversational and agentic AI. Before that I led cloud and generative AI security strategy at Capgemini and worked as a Security and Compliance Specialist Solutions Architect at AWS.
