About

A bit about me

I’m a Senior Software Engineer at Microsoft on the Generative AI Security Platform team. My work centers on securing AI systems and enhancing the visibility and observability of AI-driven processes so the people who deploy them can trust what they ship.

My passion lives at the intersection of AI, security, and observability, leveraging technology to create positive impact, whether that’s securing enterprise AI systems or applying machine learning to wildlife conservation with Lion Guardians.

I also mentor junior engineers, especially other minority women in tech, because diverse perspectives are essential for building ethical and secure AI systems.
