About me
I've spent 7+ years at the intersection of technical strategy, risk communication, and marketing, making complex security concepts actionable. My career spans application security, data governance, and AI protection — giving me a deep, practical understanding of modern threat vectors and compliance landscapes.
I specialize in translating technical specifications into robust frameworks, driving cross-functional alignment across engineering and compliance teams, and building metrics-driven strategies. A self-driven technical strategist, I leverage advanced process development and custom AI automation to streamline workflows and manage risk. Whether architecting market positioning or designing internal governance and communication strategies, my focus is on making strategy and risk mitigation easy to understand for any stakeholder.

Behind the scenes
I write about AI and application security for a living, so I wanted this site to actually run on the stack I cover — not just describe it. The front end, the "Ask Catherine" assistant, and its guardrails are all things I built and can speak to firsthand.
Front end
Hand-written HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript — no framework, no build step. Just semantic pages and a design system of CSS custom properties.
Hosting
Cloudflare Pages, deployed straight from Git. Static assets served from the edge for speed everywhere.
"Ask Catherine" chat
A Cloudflare Pages Function calling Workers AI (Llama 3.2) behind a hardened system prompt, so visitors can ask about my work and get grounded, on-topic answers.
AI safety & guardrails
Routed through Cloudflare AI Gateway for observability and content guardrails — plus prompt-injection detection, scope constraints, and per-IP rate limiting in the Worker itself.
Contact form
A serverless function posting to Resend for delivery — no third-party form embeds or trackers.
Built with Claude Code
Pair-built with Anthropic's Claude, from layout and copy to the security hardening on the chat endpoint.
