About

Hi 👋 I'm Brían.

Over the past 11+ years, I've worked across healthcare, AI, education, and a variety of SaaS - often taking products from early concept through to production in environments where ethics, regulation, and trust matter.

I believe good governance and privacy-first principles make software trustworthy, especially as AI moves into high-stakes settings.

My primary focus falls between engineering and compliance. I review how AI and sensitive-data products handle data, access and technical risk, then help teams turn the findings into work they can ship and verify.

This includes privacy-by-design controls, DPIA-ready documentation, access and retention models, AI governance readiness, and preparation for frameworks like the EU AI Act.

I work directly with founders and engineering teams, document decisions as I go, and leave behind an ordered plan or implemented changes the team can understand and maintain.

For ongoing technical leadership, I work month to month with clear decision rights, weekly check-ins and a defined set of responsibilities.
