Skill-builder for VS Code
An interactive extension that scaffolds structured, reusable AI skills with metadata, scripts, integration points, validation, and governance-oriented controls.
Security architecture. Enterprise AI. Built to work.
SECURITY + AI ARCHITECTURE
Engineering trustworthy AI into the enterprise
I design security and AI architecture for complex enterprise environments—connecting cloud, identity, Zero Trust, governance, automation, and emerging AI capabilities into systems people can actually operate.
My work spans Cloudflare, Azure, Microsoft Entra ID, SaaS security, hybrid infrastructure, AI skills, agent workflows, and the Model Context Protocol. I focus on practical controls: bounded data access, trusted tools, approval boundaries, auditability, evaluation, failure handling, and measurable operational value.

Who I Am
Hey there! I'm David, an IT maestro with a sharp tongue and a caustic sense of humor. I've been on quite a journey in the world of information technology, but there's more to me than just work. Let me tell you a bit about my personality, history, and culture.
Background and Heritage
My family has deep roots in Appalachia, West Virginia, with a rich mix of German, English, and Scotch-Irish heritage. This diverse cultural background has shaped my perspective and approach to life, bringing a unique richness and depth to everything I do.
Interests and Passions
Beyond architecture and engineering, I am an avid gamer and a lifelong student of how technology changes human experience. AI began as a fascination and has become a deliberate professional pursuit grounded in hands-on engineering, security, and enterprise design.
I also have a deep appreciation for Argentinian football and the incredible talents the country has produced over the years. Football is more than just a game to me—it's a connection to the world and its diverse cultures.
Creative and Quirky
I'm known for my creative and quirky approach to problem-solving. I infuse creativity into every aspect of my work, whether it's designing cloud architectures or coming up with innovative solutions to complex problems. My colleagues appreciate the unique perspective I bring, even if my sharp wit and sarcasm sometimes catch them off guard.
Music Lover
Music is a big part of my life. I appreciate a good playlist and enjoy incorporating music into my daily routine. Whether it's a quirky gif or a classic rock song, these little details bring a smile to my face and keep me motivated throughout the day.
