I help defense contractors, critical infrastructure operators, and government organizations architect and deploy secure AI systems — from strategy through production.
Practical AI and security solutions for organizations operating in high-stakes, compliance-driven environments.
End-to-end AI strategy for government and defense organizations. Technology assessment, roadmap development, vendor evaluation, and build-vs-buy analysis aligned with mission requirements and compliance frameworks.
Local and on-premises LLM infrastructure for air-gapped and compliance-sensitive environments. Ollama, MLX, and NVIDIA workstation deployments with RAG pipelines, secure document analysis, and AI-driven SIEM triage.
Security program design and implementation across CMMC, DFARS, NIST, SOC, and PCI frameworks. Enterprise SIEM/SOAR, automated patch management, incident response, and GCC High / OT / FRCS environments.
Cloud migration and architecture for Azure and AWS. Led migrations for 16 organizations with comprehensive security governance. Infrastructure hardening, identity management, and zero-trust implementation.
Human-first AI guardrails and policy frameworks that ensure AI augments rather than displaces human agency. Workforce impact assessment, ethical deployment guidelines, and stakeholder communication strategies.
Purpose-built AI applications including therapeutic systems for personalized healthcare, automated regulatory compliance for transportation safety, and open-source AI platforms for secure government contracting.
Three decades building security programs, leading teams, and deploying technology in defense and critical infrastructure.
Rapid technological change risks widening inequality and concentrating power unless we implement thoughtful policy that protects workers and prioritizes community resilience.
My work centers on ensuring AI strengthens human agency, judgment, and dignity — particularly in Hawaii's unique economy and for underserved communities, including Kanaka Maoli populations.
Through FOIR, I'm expanding VEX Robotics and STEM access for Hawaii youth with a focus on Native Hawaiian students, building the next generation of technologists who will shape how these tools serve their communities.
AI should enhance human capability, not replace human judgment in critical decisions.
Every system built for compliance-first environments with defense-grade security posture.
Technology that strengthens local economies, workforce development, and equitable access.
Open to consulting engagements, collaborations, and pro bono advisory in AI policy, workforce development, ethical AI, and national security.
