As a senior IT and cybersecurity executive, I have built a career specializing in tier 1 consulting opportunities, particularly in compliance auditing, regulatory risk management, and cybersecurity operations and governance. Recognizing the need to enhance my strategic and management impact, I proactively obtained my MBA from Georgetown University to complement my deep technical expertise with business acumen, allowing me to develop scalable, “as-a-service” models that position compliance as a continuous strategic function rather than a one-time obligation.

With deep expertise spanning AI, process automation, cloud platforms (AWS, Azure), data analytics, and data lake architectures, I help organizations navigate complex regulatory environments while leveraging emerging technologies to enhance cybersecurity resilience and digital transformation initiatives. My decades-long client relationships are a testament to the quantitative and qualitative value I provide—helping businesses meet compliance requirements, fortify their security posture, and drive operational efficiency and competitive advantage.

As a thought leader and deep subject-matter expert, I have advised boards, C-suite executives, and private equity firms, translating cybersecurity risk into business-driven strategies that fuel sustainable growth. In addition to my executive leadership, I have taught at two universities, a role that has sharpened my ability to translate complex concepts into actionable insights—a skill equally valuable in consulting, where education, trust, and strategic guidance are critical to long-term success. By fostering strategic partnerships, optimizing sales processes, and championing cutting-edge security strategies, I enable organizations to scale securely, maintain regulatory integrity, and drive business value in an evolving cyber threat landscape.

I hold an MBA from Georgetown University, an MS in Information Technology, and a spectrum of esteemed certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, Associate C|CISO and PMP. I am also a speaker, board member, and venture advisor, passionately fostering innovation and collaborative initiatives within the IT and security landscape.

"You have the funding. We build the engine."

For a newly funded startup, speed is survival. You need market data to validate your assumptions, and you need an MVP shipped yesterday. Waiting 6 months for a local dev team to "figure it out" is how you burn through your runway.

I am the Managing Director of Webtario, a specialized engineering firm that serves as the "Fractional Data & Product Team" for high-growth startups in the US and Europe.

The Webtario Advantage: We operate with a US Legal Presence (Webtario, LLC) and a strategic Engineering Hub in Malaysia. This gives our clients the perfect blend of Western compliance/security and Southeast Asian development speed.

We don’t just scrape data. We turn it into products. Most agencies give you a CSV file and wish you luck. We take that data and build the software that powers your business.

How We Accelerate Startups: 
🚀 Rapid MVPs & Internal Tools: We don't just build client-facing apps. We engineer the internal dashboards, admin panels, and data-rich MVPs that power your operations. From concept to deployed product in weeks.

🛠️ Pipeline Stabilization & Managed Infrastructure: Tired of scrapers breaking every week? We take over your "messy" or broken pipelines. We handle scraper development, stabilization, and ongoing maintenance, ensuring 99.9% uptime so your team stops fighting fires.

📊 Strategic Data Acquisition (Backfills to Real-Time): Whether you need a massive historical backfill to train a model or real-time competitor intelligence, we deploy enterprise-grade extraction that is clean, compliant, and vector-ready.

My Track Record:
* 16+ Years in Data Architecture & Automation.
* 15,000+ Hours of complex engineering delivered to global clients.
* Former Lead for large-scale crawling teams (80+ writers) across APAC.

If you are a Founder looking to move from "Idea" to "Data-Backed Product" without hiring a 10-person internal team, let's talk.

During the AI revolution, an unexpected shift:


The worth of human connection and kindness just skyrocketed. 🚀

Now, more than ever, 
being considerate, kind, and 
genuinely helpful has become invaluable. 

Embrace this era with humanity at its core.

Content marketing isn't a "golden ticket" anymore. It’s a commodity.


In 2015, publishing a blog post was a strategy. In 2024, it’s just noise.

We are drowning in a sea of generic, AI-generated fluff and SEO-stuffed articles. If you sound like everyone else, you are invisible.

So, how do you compete with a robot that writes faster and cheaper than you?

You don't. You do what it can't.

The Solution:
1. Inject your scars: Share the failures AI doesn't have.
2. Share bold opinions: Take a stance that scares you a little.
3. Be human: Imperfection is the new premium.

Your "unbeatable edge" isn't your grammar or your speed. It's your perspective.

What’s one bold opinion you have about your industry that AI would never write?

Wait… this is legal?


Wait, this is the easiest “scrape” hack I’ve seen in a while:
Just use this format:
https://r.jina. ai/ https://toscrape. com

Now replace toscrape.com with any site you want.
Example:
https://r.jina. ai/ https://example. com

That’s it.
No API keys. No code. No setup. lol
Just a simple URL trick you can test in 10 seconds.

🌊 You don't need to learn code anymore. You need to learn how to ask.

Google Antigravity isn't a chatbot. It's your Lead Developer.

Most people are using it wrong. 
They're still typing commands like it's ChatGPT.
But the pros? They're treating it like Mission Control.

You describe what you want. 
It plans the architecture. 
Writes the code. 
Tests it in a browser. 

Even sends you a video of your app running.

No debugging at 2 am. 
No "undefined is not a function" errors. 
Just working on software.

Here's how to get pro-level results in minutes:
👉 Before you start, create 2 files:
Instructions.md → What your app does Brand.md → Your colors, fonts, vibe

👉 Then pick your brain:
Gemini 3 Pro → Beautiful interfaces Claude 4.5 → Complex logic GPT → Fast iterations

That's it.

In 10 minutes, 
you can go from napkin sketch to a working finance dashboard 
that looks like a $50k build.

If you can dream it, 
you can describe it. 
If you can describe it, 
you now own it. 💸

The barrier just hit zero. 📉

What's the one app you'd build today if you could snap your fingers? 👇

The future isn’t “AI.”
It’s Co-Intelligence: Humans + AI working as one.


AI delivers speed and scale.
You bring judgment and values.
Speed without stewardship is waste.

Truth is, 
Tools don’t take jobs, standards do.
Calculators didn’t kill math; they raised the bar.
AI will do the same. If you don’t upgrade, it feels like replacement.

New rules:
Be the judge, not the typist.
Let AI draft; you decide truth, usefulness, ethics.
Skill first. Prompt second.
No expertise = AI fluff.

Protect your creative signal: think before you outsource thinking.

Bottom line:
Combine your God-given intelligence with artificial intelligence
and you won’t chase opportunity; you’ll attract it.

😅 3 AM. Dashboard screams 100% failure. Zero data. Full panic mode.


My “reliable” retail scraper suddenly hit anti-bot escalation:
307 redirects.
“Press & Hold” human checks.
Tokens that worked locally… died in production.

Here’s the twist: I didn’t “beat” the protection.
I built a system that behaves like legitimate traffic and stays respectful.

What changed everything 👇
✓ Automated the real OAuth2 flow
 Fresh tokens every ~25 minutes.
 Cache them. Refresh on 401. Stop copy-pasting like it’s 2012.

✓ Upgraded infrastructure (smart proxy layer)
 Not just rotating IPs.
 Handling fingerprints, retries, and tough edge cases properly.

✓ Request hygiene + pacing
 2-second delays.
 Fewer, smarter geo queries (hub locations).
 Dedup so we don’t re-fetch the same store twice.

✓ Observability first
 Logs for token state + expiry.
 Response codes.
 Failure snapshots.

 So we could answer: “Auth issue or bot block?” in minutes, not hours.

Result:
 📈 Success rate went from 0% to 99%+
 🗺️ ~187k unique rows extracted
 💸 Cost per record stayed tiny (and the ROI was obvious fast)

Big lesson:
The future of data extraction isn’t “outsmarting” anti-bot.
It’s reliability engineering + compliance + collaboration.

If your scraper works on your laptop but fails in prod, you’re not crazy.
You’re just meeting modern detection.

Want my checklist for making scrapers production-safe (without playing games)? Comment “CHECKLIST” and I’ll drop it.
