Identity & security systems
Current work in Microsoft Security, with a focus on governance, trust boundaries, and secure enterprise workflows.
See the mcpgate case study for policy enforcement, audit trails, and prompt-injection defenses.

Selected work
A security gateway for AI agents, this site, and a couple of experiments. Each card notes what I'd improve next.
mcpgate
Security gateway for MCP tool calls with policy enforcement, audit trails, and reverse-channel prompt-injection defenses.
💡 Agent tool output is untrusted input; security controls need to inspect both result and error channels.
