From Associate to Senior Manager in three years. Now every AI decision at P&G runs through me.

I'm 26. I came up through P&G security — Associate, then Technical Information Security Leader, then Senior Manager, three roles in three years. Now I'm the AI person in our innovation group: if a team wants to use an AI tool, evaluate a startup, or stand up a POC, it comes through me to clear security and make sure it actually holds up. I build AI on the side too (AJ AI, receptr), so I know the tools from the inside.

About

I'm 26. In three years at P&G I went from Associate to Technical Information Security Leader to Senior Manager — three promotions, fast. These days I'm the AI person in our innovation group: when a team wants to adopt an AI tool, evaluate a startup, or stand up a POC, it comes to me to clear security and make sure it'll actually hold up. I came up in cybersecurity — iRisk, third-party risk, threat and data protection — and I build AI products on the side, so I'm not guessing about the tools I sign off on.

What I build

I build AI products on my own time. It's the reason I actually know what I'm looking at when an AI tool lands on my desk at work.

receptr

Live

An AI receptionist for local businesses — answers every missed call and text 24/7, captures the lead, and follows up. Multi-tenant, deployed, handling real conversations.

AJ AI

The engine

An autonomous AI operator I built — runs a build / route / audit loop across models, with a human on every irreversible call. The engine behind receptr and my other work.

Agents · deterministic routing · self-audit pipeline

Market intelligence

Research

A research engine that hunts for real, defensible trading edges — and reports the honest answer, including when there isn't one. Paper-only, rigor over hype.

06 — Have a question?

Ask me anything.

I trained an assistant on my background. Ask about my experience, my security work, the things I've built, or why I might be a fit — it answers in my voice.

Answers are based on AJ's real background. For anything specific, reach out directly.
