What I Do
I sit at the intersection of AI, privacy, and the humanities, a combination that is rarer than it should be and more useful than most people expect.
My background is classical studies. My career is privacy technology at Microsoft. The throughline is a belief that judgment, accountability, and ethics are not processes you delegate to a machine, and that the organizations getting AI right are the ones who have thought carefully about where the human stays in the loop, and why.
Speaking & Appearances
I speak to privacy practitioners, technology teams, students, and organizations navigating the human side of AI adoption. My talks are practitioner-grounded and philosophically informed, built for audiences who are tired of hype and want frameworks they can actually use.
Available for conferences, corporate events, university lectures, and community chapter presentations. Based in Houston, TX. Available to travel.
