Set strategy in the boardroom.
Still write the code.
Twenty-five years of security leadership for boards, governments, and critical infrastructure, as an engineer and architect across quantitative risk, secure AI, and SOC engineering. Antan IRM, the risk platform I built and use with clients, is one of the tools.

Senior advisory and delivery across the security stack
From board-grade risk quantification to the code that runs in your SOC. Engagements scale from a four-week certification sprint to multi-year programme leadership.
Some of the work
A sample of anchor achievements across regulated, public-sector, and critical-infrastructure environments.
Designed and led the security function end to end at one of New Zealand's largest technology organisations, with ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type 2 as the outcome.
Designed and built a government agency's Security Operations Centre end to end across people, process, and technology, and drove a long-stalled PCI-DSS programme through to compliance.
Collaborated on the security architecture for one of New Zealand's most significant infrastructure projects.
Co-founded the OWASP New Zealand chapter and continues to contribute to the security community.
Antan IRM - risk that has left the spreadsheet
An AI-powered cyber risk platform I built and use for quantitative risk and decision analysis. It began as a replacement for the risk register in a spreadsheet and grew, function by function, into a tool that turns scattered security data into quantified, board-ready decisions, with a deterministic guardrail that keeps its own AI agents in check.
It is still a work in progress, and improving steadily. Try the demo, and if you would like to know more, get in touch.

Whether it is quantifying a risk in dollars, securing an AI deployment, or standing up the SOC that runs it, the work starts with a conversation. The first one is on the house.
