Turning AI governance into operational assurance.

AI Security Researcher, Framework Architect, and Founder of ODA3 Institute.

I work at the intersection of AI security, incident response, evidence, standards development, and assurance—translating high-level requirements into systems that can be implemented and assessed.

02 / Profile

Research shaped by operational reality.

For more than two decades, my work has moved across enterprise security, government environments, digital forensics, threat intelligence, and applied AI security research.

That range informs a practitioner-first approach: define the problem precisely, identify the evidence that can support a conclusion, and design controls that survive contact with real systems.

Today, my focus is the operational layer between AI governance standards and observable system behaviour—particularly incident classification, response coordination, security assurance, and assessment-ready evidence.

04 / Research archive

Selected research and practitioner work.

The archive records work across AI security, threat intelligence, detection, digital forensics, and foundational system security. Publication labels describe the original works; they do not imply current product status or third-party validation.

05 / Working principles

Evidence before assertion.

Four disciplines guide the work.

  1. 01

    Define the claim

    Separate observation, inference, and recommendation so readers can see what the evidence actually supports.

  2. 02

    Design for operations

    Translate principles into accountable actions, artefacts, decision points, and measurable outcomes.

  3. 03

    Preserve traceability

    Maintain the connection between requirements, controls, implementation, evidence, and assessment.

  4. 04

    Record what did not happen

    Document notable absences and data limits rather than filling uncertainty with inflated conclusions.

06 / Collaborate
