InfoSec Specialist  ·  Vulnerability Governance → AI Security  ·  Container Security

I am relentlessly curious. I cannot help but dig deeper into technology and into how systems really work. Right now that means AI, container security, and DevOps. I do not treat them as separate domains; I look for the points where one explains the other.

On the other side is Adlerian psychology. I have noticed that the way people design systems reflects how they think about themselves and others. I want to understand the full picture: technology, plus the people who build and use it.
