About

// professional-summary

I'm a cybersecurity and R&D leader whose core craft is cyber forensics and malware analysis — backed by reverse engineering, penetration testing, and vulnerability research. Most recently I served as Senior Vice President, Research & Development at QRC Assurance & Solutions.

Earlier I was CEO of Trizeus Cyber Security Services, delivering penetration testing, audits, and IDS/IPS deployments for enterprise, government, and private clients, and I've led GRC and data-security functions across the industry.

Alongside the security work I stay a hands-on engineer in C/C++, Qt, and Linux, building for IoT and embedded hardware — and I share that work publicly through TriBhale Labs on YouTube and a long-running writing practice on LinkedIn.

AI & Machine Learning

// where security meets intelligence

My security background and my AI work feed each other. I apply machine learning and deep learning to problems I know firsthand — detecting malware, reasoning over forensic data, and building intelligent agents — and I bring the same rigor to how AI itself is governed.

That governance side is formal: I'm an ISO/IEC 42001 AI Management Systems Lead Auditor and Lead Implementer, and I completed Data Science & Machine Learning at MIT Schwarzman College of Computing. I keep researching and shipping — from predictive models to AI assistants.
