About
Hey, I’m Aaron.
I help teams make sense of application security and AI reliability with clear writing, useful playbooks, and approaches that fit how people actually work. My aim is simple: turn complex into practical and keep a friendly, no-jargon tone.
What I work on
- SSDLC & threat modeling that developers will actually use
- AI resilience: guardrails, evals, fallbacks, and disaster recovery (“When the Robot Breaks”)
- Pen-testing workflows and lightweight automation that speed learning & remediation
What you’ll find here
- Thought pieces that stretch how we think about AI + security
- Sense-making explainers of frameworks like NIST CSF 2.0 and OWASP SAMM
- Playbooks & checklists you can run this week
How I work
- Plain English first; repeatable process second; tools last
- Prefer small, testable steps over big bangs
- Share the why and the how, not just the what
A bit more human
Colorado-based. Big on dogs, hiking, and the occasional whiskey. I like teaching by building small labs and writing as I learn.
