Currently at micro1, I red-team LLMs for jailbreaks and prompt injection. Previously at Cohere, I worked where intelligence takes root, shaping the data that makes AI not only powerful, but possible.
Selected Work
micro1
Remote contract red-teaming LLMs for jailbreaks and prompt injection. Adversarial evaluation of model behavior under attack.
Craftpine
Toronto research and development studio building AI for the physical economy. Built Corner — a production payments and inventory platform — in 76 days, then hardened it with a 71-check adversarial test program across 19 abuse scenarios. Terrasope Entry 1 scored 2026-09-10 on critical-mineral sensing.
Cohere
Built and operated data validation frameworks for AI/ML training-data pipelines — designing evaluation criteria, auditing STEM datasets against them, and documenting failure modes for pipeline owners.
Oxy
Environmental, safety and regulatory consulting for large-scale oil & gas operations — process hazard analysis, compliance support, and asset-integrity work across producing field sites.
Veolia
Fleet and operations analysis across waste-management service lines — collection, street sweeping and related routines — spanning multiple sectors and geographies.
Bilfinger
Environmental and engineering consulting for industrial clients; consolidated operations and maintenance data from disparate sources into reporting used by operations stakeholders.
Highlights
Best Seminar Award: "Dieselgate"
Awarded for an in-depth analysis of the Volkswagen emissions scandal, examining its technical, ethical, and environmental dimensions.
Hon. BSc, Environmental Geoscience
PGO-accredited program; eligible for registration as a Geoscientist-in-Training (GIT). The academic base under the environmental consulting record at Oxy, Veolia and Bilfinger. Completed alongside the Cohere contract.
Built in 76 days: 57 API routes, 20 row-level-secured tables, 44 automated test suites, and idempotent money state machines with reconciliation convergence.
Hardened by a 71-check adversarial chaos program across 19 abuse scenarios — oversell races, idempotency storms, webhook floods, out-of-order refunds. All 19 held. Charged and refunded a live dollar on production rails.
