Computer scientist working where authentication, authorization and AI agents collide. I spend my days proving that a real human is behind a transaction, letting humans delegate scoped, auditable authority to agents, and putting agents to work inside engineering teams without lowering the security bar.

CTO, Futurae

Lead the Backend, SDK, QA and Data teams building MFA and Strong Customer Authentication for fintech, plus trust signals and digital wallet products. Two problems raised by AI agents:

  • Strong human authentication: proving that a real human is behind a transaction, to prevent agent-driven fraud.
  • Agentic authorization and identity: access points, built on OAuth2, through which humans delegate scoped and auditable authority to agents.

Also anti-phishing and risk-based authentication built on passkeys and ML models.

Chief Scientist, MadSense

Board advisor helping build an agentic workforce for adtech: agent architecture, how agents are evaluated and monitored in production, and how they fit into the company's teams and workflows.

Agents as teammates

Rolling out an agent workforce across engineering (development, code review, testing, operations) inside the same delivery loop as the humans:

  • Continuous delivery: trunk-based development, automated testing, frequent low-risk deploys.
  • Monitoring: instrumented from day one, alerts tied to what customers experience.
  • Resilience: fail-safe defaults, rehearsed rollbacks, blameless post-mortems.
