The Lion of Functional Safety™

Functional Safety & Cybersecurity Expertise, Grounded in Real-World Results

I bring a hands-on, collaborative approach to developing safety-critical and secure systems, focused on delivering outcomes, not just checking boxes. My experience covers a wide range of safety and cybersecurity standards, including ISO 26262, ISO 21434, IEC 61508, DO-178, SOTIF, MIL-STD-882E, ISO 10218, ISO 13849 and more. I believe in following the spirit of each standard, applying them as tools to reduce risk and drive quality, not as rigid checklists. Whether your team is navigating early development or formal certification, I’m here to help move things forward, practically, efficiently, and as a partner.

I’m at my best when the pressure is high and the stakes are real. With a steady, detail-oriented approach, I help teams spot hidden risks in safety-critical systems and find grounded, creative solutions, often by blending lessons from other industries or uncovering novel approaches others overlook. I value clarity over complexity and collaboration over ego.

Whether mentoring teammates, leveling up project management techniques, or breaking down technical concepts for diverse audiences, I focus on making the work better, and making others better along the way. I believe the real power is in listening well, staying adaptable, and delivering high-quality work that supports the mission and lifts the team.
