Bio

I've contributed to GPT-4, Gemini, and Grok. I've built AI systems that sold for $50M+ and secured 200k+ APIs at AWS. Now I'm building something bigger. Throughout my career, I've worn many hats. At Deloitte Digital, I built Canada's first ML-enabled claims assistant that sold to major insurance providers for $50M+. I then pitched and led a team of 8 building an AI highlights reel engine that sold to Toronto's top e-sports team. These were just two of eight projects I shipped there. At AWS, I owned the API Security program, ensuring 200k+ APIs were secure on the cloud and presenting directly to L10 leadership including Peter Desantis and Eric Brandwine. I then joined AWS Global Sales as an AI/ML Specialist, managing a $20M+ portfolio and advising cloud customers across the US. At Scale AI, I contributed to GPT-4's personality, Gemini's security, and Grok's knowledge base while red-teaming SOTA models. Now I'm using years of enterprise software experience to build Kanu AI, an agent that changes the way organizations build software.
