Assess LLM and foundation model risks through threat modelling, vulnerability assessment and red-team testing, then translate findings on prompt injection, jailbreaks, data leakage and adversarial attacks into practical safeguards. Build security controls across model development, training, evaluation and deployment, integrating guardrails, monitoring and automated checks into cloud environments and CI/CD pipelines. Partner with data scientists, engineers, architects and risk teams to establish AI security standards and model-risk evidence, supporting secure and responsible enterprise adoption. EXPERIENCE AI Security Engineer Meridian Vale Technologies Sep 2023 - Present Leeds, West Yorkshire Established threat modelling and security assessment practices for enterprise LLM and foundation-model deployments, mapping data flows, trust boundaries and abuse cases before release. Led AI red-team exercises against internal AI-enabled applications, testing prompt injection , jailbreaks, model manipulation , data leakage and adversarial attacks; converted findings into prioritised mitigations and repeatable regression tests. Designed AI security guardrails and monitoring for model access, sensitive-data handling and unsafe outputs, enabling engineering teams to detect and respond to misuse during operation. Integrated security testing into CI/CD pipelines and DevSecOps workflows, using Python automation to check model interfaces, dependencies and deployment configurations before promotion. Partnered with data scientists, AI engineers, architects, governance and risk teams to define enterprise AI security standards , control requirements and model-risk review evidence. Assessed cloud security and secure configuration management for AI services, covering development, training, evaluation and deployment environments; documented remediation paths for platform owners. Tracked emerging AI threats through red-team findings and threat intelligence reviews, updating regression scenarios and guardrails to support responsible adoption across enterprise applications. AI Security Engineer Brightforge Systems Jan 2020 - Aug 2023 Manchester, Greater Manchester Secured machine-learning services used for customer operations by reviewing data pipelines, model development workflows and deployment architecture against established security practices. Built automated checks for model artefacts, access permissions and cloud configuration, reducing avoidable exposure before releases and giving engineering teams actionable findings. From late 2022, assessed early Generative AI and LLM application prototypes, modelling prompt injection and data leakage scenarios and adding validation and access-control safeguards. Worked with model developers to improve security testing across training and evaluation datasets, documenting adversarial examples and model-risk considerations for governance reviews. Presented assessment results to technical and non-technical stakeholders, helping teams rank vulnerabilities by exploitability, data sensitivity and operational impact. DevSecOps Security Engineer Kestrel Ridge Cloud Services Jun 2018 - Dec 2019 Birmingham, West Midlands Embedded security checks in CI/CD pipelines for cloud-hosted services, combining code, dependency and infrastructure reviews with clear release criteria. Automated configuration reviews with Python and infrastructure scripts, identifying excessive permissions and inconsistent controls before production deployment. Worked with software engineers and cloud architects to threat model application changes and resolve vulnerabilities without disrupting delivery schedules. Produced concise risk reports and remediation guidance for service owners, strengthening communication between engineering, operations and security teams. Cloud Security Analyst Westmere Financial Technology Apr 2016 - May 2018 Nottingham, Nottinghamshire Reviewed cloud access, network boundaries and service configurations for financial data applications, documenting security gaps and tracking remediation with system owners. Used scripting to reconcile configuration records with approved baselines, helping operations teams identify drift and maintain secure environments. Supported vulnerability assessments and security testing for application releases, explaining technical findings in terms of data protection and service risk. Cyber Security Analyst Northfield Digital Services Jul 2014 - Mar 2016 Sheffield, South Yorkshire Analysed security alerts and vulnerability reports for business systems, validating findings and escalating material risks through established incident and change processes. Maintained clear investigation records and collaborated with infrastructure teams to verify corrective actions, improving the quality of evidence available for risk reviews. Prepared trend summaries from recurring findings, helping stakeholders prioritise practical security improvements across supported services. LEADERSHIP, AWARDS & RECOGNITION Recognised by the Meridian Vale engineering group in 2025 for clear, actionable AI red-team reporting and cross-functional knowledge sharing. Mentored two security analysts on threat modelling, vulnerability assessment and communicating remediation priorities to engineering stakeholders.
